In the run up to Christmas, the Women’s Icebreakers were invited to lunch with the Ambassador’s wife, Madame Hu Pinghua at the Ambassador’s residence. It was a privilege to be entertained at their home and to discuss the issues which concern women in both environments – from a cultural and social point of view as well as from the working and economic perspective.There was plenty of lively discussion and the opportunity to meet new members and exchange views – as well as an opportunity to swop ideas. The event was rounded off with a photo call.
