The Commercial Role of a Diplomat

The role of a diplomat has changed dramatically over the last few years to encompass the effective promotion of investment and trade activities of corporations, funds and institutions from a diplomat’s respective country. foreign diplomats here in the UK and British diplomatic staff overseas are increasingly asked to advise organisations wishing to inward invest in the UK, or utilise English Law for their commercial needs), This advice can relate to matters of regulatory concern to investors, opportunities for investment and where to go and whom to retain for professional guidance.

The International Trade Centre, the joint agency of the World Trade Organisation and the United Nations have compiled two guides to help diplomats fulfil this vital function. Please click on the links below:
