The British Foreign Policy Group and the British Council, co-convenors of the UK Soft Power Group, are hosting a drinks reception at Mansion House with the Lord Mayor for the City of London Corporation, exploring the future of the UK’s soft power. Bringing together senior representatives from a wide range of industries with a stake in the UK’s global image and influence, the event will launch the latest British Council research into the ‘Sources of Soft Power’ and inaugurate the UK Soft Power Group’s programme of high-profile events and activities in 2020.
