In a most unusual occurrence, OWI Conversations with Sophia Luo presents a rare interview with a longtime European United Nations Ambassador and his accomplished wife.

Her guests are Slovakia’s Ambassador Michal Mlynar, a former educator and longtime diplomat, along with his wife, Andrea Mlynarova, a mathematics professor and former president of the prestigious UN Delegation’s Women’s Club.

In separate, wide-ranging conversations, the power couple discuss their careers, a shared view of the vital importance of education, the rigors of living and raising a family in multiple countries, an inside look at the most pressing problems and opportunities facing the world today and a glimpse into the cultural and natural wonders of their native country, Slovakia, located at the very center of the European continent.

Highlighted is announcement of a new initiative by Mrs. Mlynarova to re-establishing the American branch of a Slovak women’s organization designed to help women with immigration obstacles and enhancing educational opportunities.
