It is a fascinating time to witness historical milestones and transitions. One such signifi cant event is the arrival of
a new family at 10 Downing Street.

As the United States again gears up for a pivotal election, the world is watching with bated breath. The stakes are extraordinarily high, as the country faces a political landscape that seems more polarized than ever. Our cover story this month: The Return vs. The Rise: Trump’s Comeback or Harris’s New Dawn? - focuses on the upcoming elections, which may very well shape the future path not only of the US but also of global geopolitics.

India’s global engagements have taken on an unprecedented momentum, with a flurry of diplomatic exchanges that underscore the nation’s growing significance on the world stage. In recent weeks, India has witnessed several high-profile visits from abroad, while its own leaders have embarked on crucial foreign missions, strengthening ties across continents.

As India celebrates the 78th anniversary of its independence, it is both an honour and a privilege to extend heartfelt congratulations to every Indian, at home and abroad. We reflect on this remarkable journey, honour the sacrifices of those who came before us, and recognise the strides made on the world stage.

It has become evident that this year is shaping up to be the ultimate election year, marked by significant political transitions across the globe. Numerous countries have experienced changes in government or leadership, which carry profound implications for both domestic policies and international relations.

As we present this edition of Diplomatist, I am excited to highlight a significant event currently unfolding in India: the festival of democracy -- the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This electoral process which began on April 19, is marking a pivotal moment for the nation as it exercises its democratic right to vote.

As we step into April, we find ourselves amidst a flurry of global events and significant developments that have the potential to shape the course of international relations. In this edition of Diplomatist, we bring you a comprehensive analysis of some of the most pressing issues and notable milestones that have captured the world’s attention.

It is with great excitement that I present to you the March Edition which holds a special significance as we celebrate and honour the remarkable achievements and contributions of women across various spheres of life.

I am delighted to welcome you to the 5th edition of the Agri Business Conclave, an event that holds immense significance in our pursuit of fostering global agricultural cooperation. This year, I am particularly pleased to announce that we are joining forces with the Embassy of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in India to bring forth a platform where key stakeholders can convene and discuss the vast potential of agriculture and the collaborative opportunities between India and other nations.

Welcome to the first edition of Diplomatist Magazine for the year 2024.
As we step into a new year, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May this year be filled with prosperity, joy, and remarkable achievements for all of us.

As we approach the end of another transformative year, it is with great pleasure that we present the December edition of the Diplomatist. In this special edition, we take a retrospective journey through the past 11 months, encapsulating the significant events that have shaped the world in 2023.

It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you to the annual edition of The Diplomatist, titled “India’s Global Tapestry: Navigating Multilateral Relations with the World.” This edition stands as a testament to the evolving dynamics of international relations and the pivotal role that India plays on the global stage.

In the annals of global diplomacy, certain moments stand out as defining chapters in a nation’s journey on the world stage.

Our cover page stands as a powerful testament to the values of inclusion, attachment, and friendship. Under India’s G20 presidency, we witnessed a historic moment as the African Union was welcomed into the G20 grouping. This achievement speaks volumes about the power of collaboration and the doors that open when nations come together in a spirit of mutual respect and shared goals.

As I present to you the August edition of The Diplomatist, I’m thrilled to delve into a realm of international relations that brims with potential and promise – India’s engagement with Latin America and the Caribbean. This special focus edition unravels the intricate threads that bind two vibrant regions, revealing the depth of diplomatic ties, shared aspirations, and avenues for collaboration.

I am excited to present to you the July Edition of The Diplomatist, filled with compelling insights into international affairs and India’s global outreach. In this edition, we focus on the momentous visit of Prime Minister Modi to the US, which has strengthened the bilateral relations between the two nations.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi often says ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’ which means ‘Together, for everyone’s growth, with everyone’s trust.’

The Month of May was a busy month in India’s diplomatic calendar. It also saw the completion of 9 Years of the Modi Government. In 2014, Narendra Modi was sworn in for the first time as Prime Minister and then took oath at the office for the second term on May 30, 2019. 

People often ask me; why did you select “Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary Diplomatist” as the name for your journal. Back in 1996, when there was no publication on Diplomacy in the entire Delhi/NCR, I along with my late husband, worked hard to sow the seeds of this astute creation which is now India’s premium publication on diplomacy with an extensive distribution network and high readership.

The 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro was unforgettable for its momentous agreements to direct sustainable development worldwide. The first principle of the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development states: “Human beings are at the centre of concern for sustainable development.

Take a moment to pat your back and rejoice in how you have progressed over the last year. Whether you have changed jobs, started a new career and worked on your individual marking, growth is growth. 

This is a momentous note for me to write. I have been proud to see how Diplomatist’s coverage has evolved over the past 26 years. But my proudest achievement, looking back at these years is the community we have built. 

With a little over a month until the doors open for our annual Diplomatic Nite, I am filled with overwhelming gratitude and appreciation for all our associates, patrons, subscribers, writers and intellectuals who have spared their valuable time and interest to contribute in so many ways to the magazine and our other initiatives. 

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing you this note today. I felt quite surreal hearing about the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. I immediately turned BBC News on. Death came as a friend, they said, the monarch passed away “peacefully” in Balmoral Castle. 

Tricolours, flowers, murals, NCC cadets dressed in regional outfits – in short, it was a marvel to behold when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation from Red Fort as India embarks on its 76th year of Independence. 

For more than a century, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Africa was almost completely engrossed in the extraction and export of natural assets. But since the turn of the millennium, this tendency has changed and in the past few years, the trend has finally been overturned. International investors now come to Africa more frequently for the assurance of its people rather than for its physical possessions.

In the first six months of 2022, Sri Lanka has experienced several events that validate precisely how crucial handling the environment is: Famine, landslides, garbage falls, flash floods and many other incidents at scales that have not grabbed the attention of those not affected.  The loss of lives and possessions and the disturbance to routines that make us who we are psychologically and mentally is hard-hitting to live through and slow to reverse – if it ever does. 

India will take over the rotating presidency of the Group of 20 (G20) from December 1, 2022 to November 30, 2023. Hosting G20 Presidency will be a fitting aspiration and a welcome challenge for India. India has been a member of the G20 since its origin in 1999.

On 6 February 2022, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II became the first British monarch in history to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth. A spectacular achievement, which makes Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and the world’s longest severing Head of State.

These days, technology and knowledge are everything. The right education is important for students to be ready for their impending professional lives.
Numerous efforts are being undertaken to instill the business essence at the grassroots level. Among the changes caused by the pandemic is the rising handling of digital apps, smart products and platforms.
