Meetings with Diplomats

Been incredibly busy for the past few days so just a quick update, I've met with representatives from the Philippines Government at their Embassy in London on Wednesday, as they chair the UN Security Council meeting which passed the UN Sanctions against Iran. We discussed issues such as climate changes, we’ve recognize the prospective from a developing country in Southeast Asia, it was a indeed very rewarding meeting as we were invited to do workshop and talks after the Summit, this is start of the relationship between British Youth and the Philippines government. Mayor of London rejected our request for a meeting before the Summit as Boris is currently in South Africa “studying” the world cup, Bank of England Governor has also rejected our request for a meeting as he will not be attending the Summit.

Thursday, I met with representative from the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, we discuss a number of issues, such as North Korea, the view and approach of China on Nuclear Non-Proliferation; Climate Changes was one of the key topic, we talk about the Copenhagen and how it failed, although China is one of the world third largest economy, however GDP per capital is listed as number 99. Things like that, we also discussed UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocols, Principle of common but differentiate responsibilities, principle of sustainable development, Mitigation, Adaption, technology transfer and Financial support. (I got carried away by climate changes... haha)
