Portugal and England have the oldest alliance in the world - why? I had the opportunity to delve into this fascinating topic during a recent talk on a Fred Olsen cruise ship while sailing around the Azores and Madeira.

ASR honors and recognizes International Maritime Organization's World Maritime Day today! 50 years ago this year the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) was adopted. Today, this remains the main and most important international treaty concerning the safety of merchant ships. #WorldMaritimeDay #NavigatingtheFuture

Each year, the last full week of March marks National Protocol Officer Week, celebrating the invaluable contributions of protocol officers globally.

🇬🇧🇫🇷 I am thankful to Their Excellencies Rosie Seville and Marine de Carné-Trécesson, who respectively represent the United Kingdom and France for welcoming the Franco-British Council's Franco British Young Leaders - Avenir Franco Britannique (Young and Local Leaders Alumni) to the International Maritime Organization in London. It was fascinating to learn about the wide range of issues being addressed at the IMO, including dark fleets, the welfare of seafarers, autonomous shipping, fuel innovations, and decarbonisation efforts. Unlike other United Nations specialised agencies, voting power at the IMO is determined by the size of a Member State’s fleet. As a result, countries that hold significant influence in other fora may not always have the same sway here. It was therefore encouraging to note the presence of a European Union coordination committee, which ensures common positions are presented, alongside the strong bond of partnership between France and the United Kingdom. It’s promising to think this bond may grow even closer in the months to come. As two nations with a rich maritime heritage, shared values, and aligned interests, and whose common link is the Channel, it was reassuring to witness the strength of our Franco-British partnership.

Here some advanced tips on negotiations techniques. We gave those to a parterre of over 100 profesionnals at the late World CC Malaga convention.

We were so pleased to have included Blue Action’s Conservation Cove as part of #DiplomaticWeek this year in Grand Bahama. #ClimateDiplomacy requires us to understand the why of our mission. Foreign Diplomats learned more about adaptation and mitigation projects. Bahamian diplomats learned more about our challenges so that when they return to their posts abroad, they can speak effectively about our sustainable development challenges and solicit climate resilience project funding. Did you know? The European Union funded several of the projects at Conservation Cove. #resilience #adaptation #mitigation #climateaction #SIDS #conservation
