A special conversation @BostonCollege. We were delighted to welcome Mr. Joe Hackett, Secretary General of Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, for a special roundtable discussion with Boston College students.
The conversation provided students with a valuable opportunity to engage directly with Ireland’s senior diplomatic leadership and discuss Ireland’s foreign policy and its role in the world.
Thank you to @CGBostonIreland for joining us and helping make this meaningful conversation possible.
