As we have been sharing with you all month, we gathered at the Reagan Library on June 5, 2024, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the passing of President Reagan. The day was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on our 40th President's legacy and its enduring impact to this day and beyond. We began with a special ceremony to honor this 20-year milestone. From there, we heard from many who served in the Reagan Administration, discussing both his domestic and foreign policies, and how they continue to shape the world. We concluded the day with a special after dinner conversation with Peggy Noonan and the children of two of President Reagan's closest friends and allies on the world stage, Margaret Thatcher and Brian Mulroney. In today's Reagan Forum Podcast we focus on our keynote fireside chat. When talking about President Reagan's legacy, it is impossible to not intertwine it with his allies and his friends. Including former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Three greats who are now gone. Gone—and missed more than ever, as the world longs for their unique brand of decisive, principled leadership. In our final reflection on the life, death and legacy of President Ronald Reagan, we were so deeply honored that two children of these leaders agreed to be a part of our program. In our keynote fireside chat, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Peggy Noonan sat down in conversation with Carol Thatcher and Ben Mulroney. No one else could possibly offer a perspective like theirs on two of President Reagan's greatest allies.

Philosopher Alain de Botton, biographer Carol Thatcher and historian Simon Sebag Montefiore join Sir David Tang at an open public forum in the Hong Kong Book Fair, sharing their views on "How and What and Why do Writers Write?"

Mr Okri was among a star-studded cast of international writers attending the fair, including Alain de Botton, Simon Sebag Montefiore and Carol Thatcher.
