About Diplomat Affairs Magazine
20 November 2014.
We are excited to present Diplomat Affairs Magazine – In Touch with the Dutch, a publication that reports on how the diplomatic community engages with the Dutch society. In other words, we highlight the various ways in which they are In touch with the Dutch. Although we do not report on political developments, we will, from time to time, touch on subjects of current interest.
In addition to covering exciting events, we will regularly feature interviews with diplomats, international businesspeople, artists, and other noteworthy individuals.
Art and music are among our favourite subjects, as they connect us all, regardless of our beliefs or origins.
Diplomat Affairs Magazine is grateful for the cooperation of Ambassadors and their Embassies, as well as other dignitaries.
It is also worth mentioning that Diplomat Affairs Magazine is closely affiliated with Diplomat Club Wassenaar, founded and directed by Mrs Shida Bliek. The Club is located at Kasteel De Wittenburg in Wassenaar, and bilateral Ambassadors are honorary members. We would like our members to experience the Club as ‘a home away from home’.
In collaboration with the Municipality of Wassenaar, represented by the Mayor, and members of Dutch society, we warmly welcome newly arrived Ambassadors to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, following the presentation of their credentials to His Majesty King Willem-Alexander. This is a cherished Club tradition, held twice a year, and one we greatly enjoy.
The charities supported by Diplomat Affairs Magazine and Diplomat Club Wassenaar are:
- research into heart and vascular disorders, through the MC Thorax Foundation, and
- SOS Children’s Villages, also supported by the Ambassadors for Austria Association.
