H.R.H. Prince Jaime de Bourbon de Parme, diplomat and presently Special Envoy Natural Resources at the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign affairs, had accepted the invitation and spoke on the following subject: “Natural Resources and Diplomacy”.
Prince Jaime studied International Relations and Conflict Management at Brown University (US) and completed his postdoctoral studies with a Master in International Economics and Conflict Management at Johns Hopkins University. His postings included Iraq, Afghanistan and Brussels, where he was detached to the offices of Euro Commissioner Neelie Kroes. In February Prince Jaime was appointed Ambassador to the Holy See in Vatican City.
It is fantastic to see how the Dutch Royals use their outstanding positions to contribute to an internationally better world.
