Wilton Park dialogues

During each of our conferences we take the opportunity to talk with some of the key opinion formers about the issues at hand. Our podcasts are published via our RSS Feed on iTunes (jointly with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office podcasts), and on Mixcloud.

As with all Wilton Park discussions, each individual contributing to our podcasts will be expressing their own opinions and not those of any organisation to which they may be affiliated.
