Atlantic Council Front Page is our premier live ideas platform for global leaders to discuss the defining challenges of our time.
Atlantic Council Front Page is a new virtual event series featuring top newsmakers across multiple digital platforms. Harnessing the convening power and expertise of the Council’s thirteen programs and centers, #ACFrontPage leverages the Council’s capabilities in social media, press, and digital outreach to spotlight the world’s most prominent leaders and the most compelling ideas across sectors and engage new audiences eager for nonpartisan and constructive solutions to current global challenges. This widely promoted program features the Council’s most important guests and content serving as the highlight of our programming each week.
On Thursday, August, 20, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. ET (5:00 p.m. GMT+4), the Atlantic Council hosted a conversation featuring UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash. One week after the UAE-US-Israeli joint statement announcing that the UAE and Israel have normalized relations, Dr. Gargash discussed how the two countries reached this historic agreement and explore the deal’s regional implications.
The Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative was pleased to present this live online conversation as part of the #ACFrontPage event series, our premier ideas platform spotlighting global leaders who are championing constructive solutions to global challenges.
