Last Wednesday, June 24, I had the honour and the pleasure to attend a lunch to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Diplomat Magazine. I found myself in the company of some twenty Diplomat Magazine’s supporters in the fine ambiance of the Worldhotel Bel Air hosted by his General Manager Stephan van der Meulen, here in The Hague.
I say ‘supporters’ because, our lunch group was composed of DM’s contributors, reporters, photographers, sponsors and others whose collective efforts and input during the last year, have enable this unique (to The Netherlands) Magazine to grow and prosper. It is fine to witness such good collaboration with the diplomatic community and to learn that the Magazine’s readership has grown in the previous 12 month period from 41,000 to 62,000.

Such success does not come without much dedication and hard work but last Wednesday’s lunch was a relaxed and convivial affair, enriched by good conversation, musical interludes and the opportunity to make new acquaintances.
I wish The Diplomat Magazine continued success and a very bright future.
