Diplomat Magazine had the great pleasure of celebrating its first anniversary at the Carlton Ambassador Hotel in The Hague. Over two hundred guests, including 22 ambassadors, were welcomed by the reception line consisting of Bonnie Klap, Peter Knoope, and Drs. Eva Maria Mendes. The hotel staff were extremely attentive throughout the event, in particular general manager Arwin Paulides ensured that everything went smoothly. In attendance were those at the heart of the publication: diplomats, photographers, lawyers, and other volunteers. Many embassies contributed to the buffet style dinner, among them the embassies of Guatemala, India, France, Thailand, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, el Salvador, Angola, Latvia, Panama, Colombia, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Cyprus, Serbia, Tunisia, China Russia, the Cabinet of Sint Maarten and Direct Languages Centre. A jazz group livened up the atmosphere and a DJ ended with an impromptu dance party that lasted until 11pm, after which the party moved downstairs to Rubens Bar. As the brainchild of Dr. Eugenio Matos, the publication is flourishing and a glossy paper version will be out shortly. We would like to thank everyone for their support and extend an especially warm gratitude to our many volunteers for their commitment.
Special thanks to Carlton Ambassador Hotel and all members of its staff, embassies of Guatemala, India, France, Thailand, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, el Salvador, Angola, Latvia, Panama, Colombia, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Cyprus, Serbia, Tunisia, China Russia, the Cabinet of Sint Maarten, Direct Languages Centre and all Diplomat Magazine volunteers staff.
