"With Dr. Peter Ammon, the Agora Strategy Institute has a new leader with experience at the most important diplomatic levers in the West.

I look forward to contributing my many years of diplomatic experience to this translation process and to providing new stimuli at the Agora Strategy Institute. I would also like to thank my predecessor Dr. Harald Braun for his commitment and look forward to working more closely with the entire Agora Strategy Group team," says Dr. Peter Ammon.
