OSCE Secretary General, Ambassador Marc Perrin de Brichambaut

Topics include the impact of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as nuclear and energy politics, all with the active involvement of senior regional and international journalists.
The United States will be represented by two leading strategists from both sides of the Washington spectrum: Richard Holbrooke (Democrat) and Richard Perle (Republican).
The United Kingdom will be represented by, among other speakers, by the controversial Member of Parliament, George Galloway.
The European Union, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and NATO will all figure prominently in discussions about how these long established institutions are coping with the challenges thrown up by changing international relationships.
On the journalistic side, the conference will also debate a number of media themes, including aspects of freedom of the press, the handling of financial news and the ‘glamorisation' of television through the cult of celebrity and ‘reality' shows.
The Eurasian Media Forum is a non-political body founded to promote East-West understanding through involvement of the media as well as political and business leaders. This will be its 6^th annual conference.
