Talk to a Diplomat: Interview with Vedran Kuljanin

We’re back!

Listen as I interview Vedran Kuljanin. He is the Marketing Coordinator and Research Analyst at the NATO Association of Canada. Vedran has extensive research, writing and analysis experience within sports, the legal industry and most recently international relations. He is looking to pursue his Masters in Economic Development and Foreign Affairs while continuing his career within the research and writing field in an international platform.

As the new Marketing Coordinator and Research Analyst, listen as Vedran discusses some of his plans for the NATO Association of Canada. He also discusses the Economy Forum on Mining and Infrastructure. This took place on March 9th at the Ontario Trade Centre.

The Economy Forum came to life as a response to NATO’s interest in economic development and security. We strive to help realize this goal by increasing economic trade among NATO Allies and partner countries. This business forum included representatives and companies from Turkey, Poland, Albania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kosovo, Croatia, Hungary, and Macedonia. Listen as Vedran discusses the significance and the impact of the NATO Economy Forum on Mining and Infrastructure.
