On February 17, 2023, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines delivered keynote remarks at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs’ (SIPA) annual Gabriel Silver Lecture Dedicated to International Peace as part of “A Conference on Today’s Competitive Geopolitical Landscape — in honor of Robert Jervis.”
Thank you, Jeanne [Meserve], very much for the kind introduction and the opportunity to join this extraordinary event. It is quite something to represent the Intelligence Community at a Summit for Democracy that is literally happening across the world, co-hosted by the United States alongside Costa Rica, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Zambia. And a special thanks to Secretary Blinken and his terrific team for putting together such an exceptional forum and program this week.
