FRANCE. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair will be a keynote speaker at this year’s TFWA World Exhibition & Conference. Blair will share his experiences of working in international politics and offer his thoughts on Brexit, foreign policy and other pressing geopolitical matters.
Blair served as Prime Minister with his New Labour government from 1997 to 2007. On the global stage, Blair was instrumental in securing the Good Friday Agreement with Northern Ireland, created the Department for International Development to address extreme poverty around the world, and introduced landmark legislation to tackle climate change.
“As always at the TFWA World Conference, our aim is to engage speakers who can help us better understand the times in which we live and do business,” TFWA President Alain Maingreaud said.
“Our keynote speaker this year is someone with unrivalled experience of regional and global politics, who is able to address the often complex issues that are shaping the world economy. We are delighted to welcome Mr Blair to Cannes and look forward to hearing his thoughts on a wide range of issues.”
TFWA World Exhibition & Conference takes place 29 September to 4 October 2019 in Cannes, France.
