The President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari and UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova will open the event, which will be moderated by BBCnewsanchor Zeinab Badawi.
Since then I have presented a number of mainline BBC programmes, including Breakfast News, Songs of Praise, the early evening news programme Reporting Scotland (which I anchor in Glasgow twice a week), A Family of My Own and, of course, Hard Cash.
