In a special live recording in Singapore, Mishal Husain is joined by two people who have contributed to the country’s remarkable rise as well as its foreign policy. George Yeo was Singapore’s minister of foreign affairs from 2004 to 2011, and Kishore Mahbubani’s career as a diplomat saw him become the city-state’s ambassador to the United Nations. In a conversation recorded Sept. 9 in front of a live audience, they explore the shifting global world order, artificial intelligence and the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.
