Keynote at Informal meeting of Culture Ministers in Lefkosia, Cyprus

Yates was a guest of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU

Today Donna Yates had the privilege of delivering a keynote to the Cultural Ministers of Europe about new and emerging heritage crime.

  • In the subsequent discussion ministers expressed the importance of shifting our focus to the future, of being proactive and not reactive to heritage crime threats, and to support the deep expertise needed to do this.

    Yates says "It was an honour to present this topic in Cyprus, not only because of their significant ancient past, but also because of Cyprus' modern commitment to heritage protection."
