From October 16 to 19, 2016 Ambassador Neelam Deo, Director, Gateway House, attended the Forum 2000 conference in Prague where she was a panelist. The forum – now in its 20th year – had five major thematic areas including the deficit of democratic leadership in the world today, the challenges posed to democracy, and interfaith dialogue, among others.
Ambassador Deo spoke on two panels – ‘Leading by Example: Can Indian democracy trump Chinese authoritarianism?’ and ‘Dynasties, Women Leaders and Democracy’.
