It’s a real honour to stand in front of you this evening, among this brilliant cohort, the dedicated team behind the Centre for Democracy and Peace, and of course, the supporters and sponsors who help make all this possible. Thank you for letting me share a few reflections on what is, undeniably, a bit of a milestone.
