Hi Romaron, yes I thought Dr Irfaan Ali was very articulate and absolutely right in highlighting the West’s hypocrisy in wanting every other emerging Nation to now forego its own development plans on the back of its natural resources, given we’ve already collectively benefitted from decades of O& G extraction. He was also magnanimous towards the likes of Exxon, having used their strength to negotiate highly advantageous terms for themselves, with little, I suspect, likely to flow back to help the Country ultimately transition. So in that regard refreshing to hear someone believe in the necessity of Profit and the sanctity of contracts and partnerships. Something seemingly now lost by our politicians.
Ps. no I don’t believe JSO hold annual conferences, their ability is limited to disrupting others !
