 This
workshop was highly practically oriented. It has given me
an insight into raising a negotiating team with the role each
person plays and also to negotiate interests rather than positions.
The resource persons, all of whom were practitioners in the
realm of international finance, were highly impressive and
we all benefited from their wealth of experience.
