The missive came from Lord Paul Boateng, who addressed the ITT conference in Istanbul on Thursday (16 June) the challenges posed by globalisation and the emergence from the Covid crisis.


The civil rights lawyer, politician and diplomat, who was Labour MP for London’s Brent South constituency from 1987 to 2005 and later British High Commissioner to South Africa, delivered a wide-ranging address broadly on the importance of individuals and businesses playing their part in achieving change on a larger scale.
