This lunch will take place in the ASHK Chairman’s office at the Standard Chartered Bank Building in Central.

Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) is proud to present a luncheon and fireside chat with Mr. George Osborne, partner at Robey Warshaw LLP and former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Britain’s role in today’s uncertain world. In this exclusive, off-the-record discussion with ASHK Chairman Ronnie C. Chan, Mr. Osborne will consider the recent significant shifts in geopolitics and the global economic environment and how Britain can respond. Will Britain rise to the moment and take on new leadership roles? How will Britain’s relations with the European Union and European allies evolve under the strains of this moment?
