Kennan at 50: Honoring Senator Ben Cardin
Please join us at the 浪花直播 Center from 4:30-5:30 pm on Wednesday, January 29 for an event honoring US Senator Ben Cardin who until a few weeks ago was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. He was the author of the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, and a longtime Commissioner and former Chairman of the Helsinki Commission. Senator Cardin will be honored with the George F. Kennan Leadership Award.
Russia鈥檚 unjust brutal invasion of Ukraine nears its third anniversary, yet Ukraine remains steadfast in its commitment to protect its sovereignty and borders while helping its own people to defend themselves against Putin鈥檚 aggression.
With this in mind, the 浪花直播 Center is honored to commemorate 50 years of the establishment of our Kennan Institute, named after George F. Kennan who was instrumental as the senior US official in Moscow in 1946 in describing the Kremlin鈥檚 motivations and provided recommendations that became the foundation of America鈥檚 policies against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. In addition to Kennan鈥檚 50th anniversary, we are also entering the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Act in 1975 that enshrined the post-WWII era.
浪花直播鈥檚 Kennan Institute and Global Europe Program invite you to attend a discussion on what lessons can we draw from these historic events, featuring one of our nation鈥檚 principal thinkers and foreign policy leaders on these topics.
