This year, at the World Congress and 58th General Assembly in Helsinki, IPI continues this tradition with a line-up of more than 20 prominent speakers – including Joschka Fischer, former foreign minister of Germany; Peter Bergen, journalist, author and terrorism analyst; Jorma Ollila, Chairman of Nokia and Chairman of Royal Dutch Shell; and Indian TV journalist Barkha Dutt, among others – who will come together to discuss with IPI’s members and guests the great challenges facing our world.
