Panel Discussion at the Labour Party Conference 2024
'The Defence of the UK Begins in Ukraine' - Chair of the Defence Committee made a powerful statement at our recent event.
We are thrilled to share insights from our recent panel discussion, "Security and Prosperity – Delivering a Long-Term UK-Ukraine Strategic Partnership," held during Ukraine Day at the Annual Labour Party Conference on the 24th of September. This event, hosted by CEO Club London in partnership with BGV Group, brought together key voices to explore the enduring collaboration between the UK and Ukraine.
Among the speakers there were:
🔸Yehor Cherniev, Deputy Chair of the Ukrainian Parliament's National Security, Defence, and Intelligence Committee, Head of the delegation to NATO PA;
🔹Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi MP, Chair, Defence Committee;
🔸Dmytro Natalukha, Chair of the Ukrainian Parliament's Economic Development Committee, Co-chair of the UK-Ukraine Parliamentary Group;
🔹The Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP, Chair, Business and Trade Committee;
🔸Serhii Haidaichuk, President and Founder, CEO Club Ukraine/London.
🔹The discussion was moderated by Jade McGlynn, Author and Research Fellow at the Department of War Studies, King’s College London
Our speakers noted that both nations can exchange a wealth of knowledge and innovation. For example, the UK stands to gain invaluable insights from Ukraine's pioneering approaches to military strategy and technological advancements in defence. Conversely, Ukraine can benefit from the UK’s experience in governance and economic development. The speakers emphasized that economic and trade cooperation between the UK and Ukraine has a 150-year history.
A significant theme of our discussion was the importance of solidarity among nations opposing aggression. Strengthening our partnership not only bolsters Ukraine’s resilience but also reinforces the UK’s own security. Together, we can ensure that those who stand against threats are equipped to protect our shared future.
We extend our gratitude to all speakers and participants for their contributions, and we look forward to continuing this critical dialogue.
