In Conversation with a former Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon

 
«Every day Ukraine teaches the whole world a lesson on how to effectively resist an aggression» - Sir Michael Fallon

On the 30th of October CEO Club London hosted an insightful evening with Sir Fallon, where we discussed the pressing challenges in national security, defense cooperation, and global economic resilience.

A recurring theme was the importance of stronger support for Ukraine’s defense needs and enhancing the UK’s own deterrence capabilities. Sir Fallon underscored the need for a unified stance against states that violate international laws, emphasizing that accountability on the global stage is essential for long-term security. The conversation also explored how upcoming leadership changes in the United States could influence UK-US defense cooperation.

Discussions on trilateral cooperation between Ukraine, the UK, and Poland highlighted the potential for these nations to establish a robust regional alliance that could deter threats and enhance collective security. On economic matters, Sir Fallon examined key global trends likely to impact the UK and international markets, from shifting trade patterns to rapid technological advancements. He stressed that navigating these changes will require innovative strategies for sustaining economic stability.

We thank Sir Fallon for being our speaker and Adrian Stones for chairing the discussion. We are grateful for the lively discussion and look forward to building on these insights in future events.
