People sometimes wonder what an embassy does; and what international co-operation really means.
By way of an interesting concrete example, the British Embassy organised a visit late last year by experts from the UK’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre to meet their Ukrainian counterparts.
The CEOP experts also met Ukrainian and international NGOs tackling the exploitation of children, including UNICEF, ECPAT, La Strada, the International Organisation for Migration and Odesa-based Faith Hope and Love.
You can read a full account of the event on the Embassy website here (in Ukrainian) or here (in English).
Leigh Turner has been the British Ambassador to Ukraine since June 2008. You can read all his blog entries at blogs.fco.gov.uk/roller/turnerenglish (in English) or blogs.fco.gov.uk/roller/turner/ (Ukrainian)
