‘Mark has provided exceptional leadership for our Panel of Senior Advisers, where his insights and expertise have already greatly enriched our discussions.

‘We are tremendously grateful that he has agreed to continue his association with us as a President of the Institute and very much look forward to drawing more on his extraordinary knowledge and understanding of international affairs, steering our work as a source of independent analysis, trusted dialogue and influential ideas.’
