First Kofi Annan Lecture Series Event Features Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados

On September 23rd, IPI, Kofi Annan Foundation, Open Society Foundations, and International Crisis Group co-hosted the inaugural event in the Kofi Annan Lecture Series featuring H.E. Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados.

During the first Kofi Annan Lecture, Prime Minister Mottley gave a speech honouring Kofi Annan’s legacy and examined some of the greatest challenges facing leaders today, including the pandemic, the climate and energy crisis, and a growing deficit of trust. H.E. Mia Mottley called for social and economic inclusion, debt relief instruments, and a new “truly inclusive” international system. 

The “Kofi Annan Lecture Series” is an annual event in New York co-organized by IPI, International Crisis Group and Open Society Foundations in September every year starting in 2022. The lectures focus on issues that Secretary-General Annan prioritized, such as peacemaking, peacebuilding, and strengthening the international system.
