Britain-Burma Society Lecture – February 2020

Andrew Patrick was British Ambassador to Myanmar from 2013 to 2018. A veteran diplomat he also served in Afghanistan and South Africa. He spent almost five years in the country, spanning the high point of the 2015 election, and ending as the crisis in Rakhine was unfolding. While he was in Myanmar he met and married Khin Sanda Win, a Myanmar businesswoman (no relation to Ne Win).
He will talk about his personal experiences as Myanmar opened up, and his travels to the more remote corners of the country. He will also talk about his encounters with leading Myanmar figures, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and President Thein Sein, General Min Aung Hlaing, and international visitors such as Boris Johnson, Angelina Jolie, and John Bercow.
