 The objective of the [[German-British Forum]], according to its own account, 'is to enlarge the common ground and reduce the room for misunderstanding between Germany and Britain by focusing attention on the strong links binding the two countries together. It has a particular interest in encouraging dialogue in the areas of business and social policy and in helping lay the basis for economic reforms to increase jobs and investment.'<ref>GBF [http://www.gbf.com/gbf/a2.asp Objectives], accessed 24 March 2009</ref> The Forum is in other words an elite networking organisation to foster unity amongst the business classes.  'There is growing focus' it says 'on efforts to promote "cultural literacy" among managers and business partners in the two countries to allow them to understand and bridge the differences in the two countries' business cultures.'
-The Forum is run by a senior array of business and political leaders, including a significant component of those active in foreign policy and other elite networking activities.  the president is the former UK Foreign Secretary [[Douglas Hurd]], and other well networked faces include [[Michael McLay]], a former special advisor to Hurd and to [[Carl Bildt]]. McLay was an early member of the [[British American Project]] and has been involved with the spy firm [[Hakluyt]], set up by former members of the UK intelligence agency [[MI6]]. McLay also helped to set up the similar [[Club of Three]] with [[Lord Weidenfeld]] who is also involved in the GBF. Weidenfeld - a former Political Advisor and Chef de Cabinet in Israel to Dr. [[Chaim Weizmann]] in 1949 made a career in publishing, but is also active in atlanticist and Neoconservative linked organisations being a board member at the [[EastWest Institute]] engaged in low profile work in Eastern Europe; a UK trustee of the Zionist [[Jerusalem Foundation]] and invoolved with the neoconservative [[New Atlantic Initiative]].  Also involved with the forum are an array of PR operatives including from [[Burson-Marsteller]] and [[Quiller Consultants]] (the PR firm owned by [[Huntsworth]] and through which  it's boss [[Peter Gummer]], well connected in these circles, operates).
