The Board and members of the Asia Scotland Institute convey their deep sadness on the news of HM The Queen’s death. Admired around the world for her sense of duty and example of tireless leadership for others in the Commonwealth countries and elsewhere, her keen interest in Asia has been a beacon to follow and inspire those engaging with that part of the world. She will be sadly missed by us and our deep condolences are offered to the members of the Royal Family.
