AGSIRD students visit the OECD

Tuesday, 03 June 2008

OECD Forum 2008

John West received a group of students from both his and Sir Christopher MacRae's classes at the OECD in Paris on April 16th. They had discussions with John, some other permanent staff and national delegation members and got firsthand knowledge of the inner workings of this IGO.

In addition, for the second year, a group of AGSIRD students participated in the OECD Forum. Forum 2008, "Climate Change, Growth, Stability", which took place in June, brought together some 1700 participants from around the world to discuss the hottest issues on the international agenda. Discussions were animated by leaders from government, business, labour and civil society, such as: OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria; Prince Albert II of Monaco; Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary, UNFCCC; Xiqing Gao, President, China Investment Corporation; Anne-Marie Idrac, State Secretary, Foreign Trade, France; James Leape, Director General, WWF International; Doris Leuthard, Minister of Economic Affairs, Switzerland; José Lopez, Executive Vice President, Nestlé; John Sweeney, US trade union leader; and Jean-Claude Trichet, President, European Central Bank.

If you take advantage of AGS, you can go very far. I am very happy with my decision to go to AGS and soak up Paris as much as two years will allow.
