About Us The
Association of Indian Diplomats, a gathering of former Ambassadors /
High Commissioners of Having devoted
the major part of their active lives to promoting the objectives of India's
foreign policy, and having contributed, each in their own way, to the
formulation and implementation of this policy, they believed that by keeping
abreast of issues and developments relating to foreign and domestic affairs,
they could continue to help in such ways as may be appropriate, in the
promotion of a better understanding of India's role on the international
stage. It was also
relevant that, after retirement, services of some of the retired Ambassadors
have been availed by Government from time to time or on a regular
basis, for obtaining assessments on areas of their specialisation or for
special assignments in the area of foreign affairs. It was felt that
a Formal but Voluntary Association that brings together such
persons would also provide an useful forum for study, discussion and debate
of relevant issues. It was envisaged that such a forum would also encompass
interaction with academic personalities, experts and commentators in the
field of international affairs as well as with other institutions with
similar interests. There was also an
apparent need to generally bring together those who had worked for In order to promote
these objectives, an Association "The Association of Indian
Diplomats" was formed in 1980 and registered in 1981 at Delhi under the
Societies Registration Act of 1960. |
