The statute of the DiploFoundation was signed by representatives of the Maltese and Swiss governments on November 20. After almost ten years of research, training and software development in the field of diplomacy, one has expanded from the roots with the Malta-based Mediterranean Academy of Diplomatic Studies and the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies to become an independent organisation.

With offices in Malta, Geneva and Belgrade, the DiploFoundation will retain close ties to the Mediterranean Academy and the Graduate Institute, while welcoming new affiliations with other governments and institutions.

With its new status as a foundation, Diplo expands its capacity to assist all countries, especially those with limited human and financial resources, to participate meaningfully in international affairs. For more information see: www.diplomacy.edu/DiploNews/default.asp.
