U. S. Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan to Speak at NMH
NORTHFIELD, Mass.— Steve Young, the United States Ambassador to
Kyrgyzstan,
will present a seminar at Northfield Mount Hermon School on
Friday, April 29 from 3 to 4 pm.
Kyrgyzstan, a central Asian country just west of China, was
annexed by Russia in 1864 and achieved independence from the
Soviet Union in 1991. On March 24, 2005 a political coup ousted
President Askar Akayev. Ambassador Young will address U. S.
policies in the region and also speak about his experiences as a
diplomat.
The seminar is part of NMH’s continuing State of the World
lecture series, which is designed to foster greater
understanding of international events in light of 9/11.
The lecture will take place in the Rhodes Room on the school’s
Mount Hermon campus. It is free and open to all.
