International Day of Diplomats to be celebrated on October 24

Antananarivo, Oct 24(UNI) A number of diplomats around the world are celebrating International Diplomats Day on October 24 to highlight the contributions made by diplomatsin shaping our world since ancient times and also in making our planet a better place.
This year Diplomats are going to post a short video or text of what does it mean to be a diplomat, serving in different geographies, navigating diverse cultures, languages among others, a high point in their careers as diplomats. People are going to post their impressions of interacting with a diplomats or their perceptions of a diplomat, what do they do, how do they help in safeguarding their interests, a poem on diplomats etc.
They will be using hashtags #International DiplomatsDay and #ServingPeopleGlobally while posting their messages.
Celebration of International Day of Diplomats was started in Brasilia on 24th Oct 2017 by Indian poet-diplomat Abhay K. and since then diplomats of several countries have participated in the celebrations of International Day of Diplomats every year.
The celebration aims to bridge the gap in perception and reality of diplomats' life among the general public. Abhay K. says - “Diplomats play a key role in maintaining a peaceful world order by means of effective communication among the States, initiating agreements and treaties, implementing them and advising political leaders on critical foreign policy matters.They are at the heart of bringing and keeping the world together. In fact, war ensues when diplomacy fails, bringing death and destruction upon societies and civilisations. A country that has skilled diplomats does not have to go to war.”
