On the 9th February 2010, the AIIA National Executive hosted a forum to discuss the life, work and achievements of The Right Honourable R. G. Casey, later Lord Casey, as Australia's Minister for External Affairs from 1951 to 1960. The Forum brought together some of Australia's most eminent academics and experts in international relations, former senior diplomats and government officials from various organisations, fifty years after R. G. Casey retired from politics.
