On 18 September 2024 the OSCE Academy had the honour to welcome H. E. Ambassador Thomas Greminger, Chairman of the Board of the PeaceNexus Foundation and Executive Director of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP), accompanied by Mr. Kanatbek Abdiev, Programme Officer for Central Asia. The distinguished guests were welcomed by Dr. Pal Dunay, Interim Director of the OSCE Academy, and the Academy’s staff members and lecturers. Dr. Dunay presented the latest developments of the OSCE Academy and together with colleagues briefed Ambassador Greminger about Central Asian developments and the Academy’s role as a regional platform. Ambassador Greminger underlined the importance of the work the OSCE Academy is doing and expressed his interest to develop further cooperation between the Academy and the GCSP, as well as consider collaboration with PeaceNexus.
This was a second visit of Ambassador Greminger to the OSCE Academy. In 2018 he visited the Academy in his capacity as Secretary General of the OSCE and already since then has been strongly supporting the Academy’s activities. https://osce-academy.net/en/news/full/532.html
