This satellite event, echoing the esteemed Lord Mayor's Big Curry Lunch, which aims to raise crucial funds for the growing number of Commonwealth veterans residing in Estonia and across the region.
These veterans, who have served with distinction in the Army, Navy, and Air Forces of the Commonwealth Realms, represent a legacy of dedication and sacrifice. From those who served since 1949 to recent deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan and Estonia, their service is deeply valued.
This year, we are honored to begin the day with a compelling seminar focused on geographical security, featuring Roger McDermott, an honorary senior fellow, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Kent at Canterbury, and senior fellow in Eurasian Military Studies, Jamestown Foundation, Washington DC. Mr. McDermott specializes in defence and security issues of the former Soviet Union, providing a unique opportunity to engage with an expert on critical regional issues.
Be part of this significant occasion, where you can connect with senior community figures, business leaders, and fellow supporters, all while enjoying an authentic curry experience.
