Diplomat Magazine, the first diplomatic publication in the history of the Netherlands, is now in its third year. Officially launched on 19 June 2003 by a group of diplomats accredited to the Netherlands, the publication continues to grow fast.
The website attracts more than 60,000 hits per month, and the bi-annual printed edition is widely read in the Netherlands and beyond. The magazine is the second largest online diplomatic publication in Europe, and the fastest-growing of its kind in the world.
Indeed, Diplomat Magazine’s global reach continues to strengthen – press correspondents are now stationed in Brussels covering the EU, Belgium and Luxembourg, in North America, the UK, as well as Latin America.
This rapid expansion has been made possible thanks to the hard work and dedication of volunteer staff, diplomatic spouses, and loyal supporters, alongside the multitude of career diplomats who contribute the bulk of the magazine’s articles.
The head of mission of Nicaragua, H.E. Dr. Carlos Argüello Gómez, Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, wrote in a recent editorial that Diplomat Magazine is now “the main working media tool for local diplomats” in the Netherlands.
Diplomat Magazine has also featured in the Dutch press. The AD Haagsche Courant, a well-known publication in the Netherlands, recently ran an article on one of the magazine’s famed monthly Diplomats’ Meet & Greet events at the Carlton Ambassador Hotel in The Hague.
