When Diplomat Magazine’s directors announced the launching of the first glossy edition in November 2013, members of their staff and the diplomatic corps were very excited about the news.
After the publication of the hard-copy edition in November 2014 (the very first magazine of its kind in Netherlands’ history) Diplomat Magazine has received written compliments from Heads of State, ministers, dignitaries and the academia from all over the world.
Conversely, with this new luxury 2nd edition launched in June 2015, the impact amongst the diplomatic corps in The Hague and Brussels, members of Parliament, Dutch authorities and entrepreneurs was immense. It institutes a tremendous achievement for Publisher Dr. Mayelinne De Lara (currently a diplomatic spouse) and the team of diplomats and volunteers behind the scenes.
“Diplomat Magazine is very valuable, we appreciate the quality and the perfect equilibrium of its content and design, a source of useful information by and for diplomats, alongside the successful events they organize”, expressed several ambassadors accredited to the Netherlands.
Diplomat Magazine has offered scholarships and free diplomatic training courses to its contributors and volunteer staff. The selected academic centers were at the rank of ASSER Institute, Clingendael Institute, the Alliance Francaise and The Hague Political Academy.
On the other hand, the Online publication has reached the uppermost in terms of monthly readers, over 55,000 followers.
Border Crossing, a new publication inserted in Diplomat Magazine Online, https://diplomatmagazine.eu/2015-issues/ is edited in Canada by Eugene Matos De Lara and other academic researchers in international relations from the University of Ottawa.
The entire concept is paying off to their founders and to the international diplomatic community.
