Who We Are
Interaction Among Diverse Diplomatic Stakeholders Around the World
The Global Diplomatic Forum (GDF) is an independent, non-profit platform dedicated to strengthening diplomacy through dialogue, learning, and collaboration.
We bring together emerging and established diplomats, policymakers, and international leaders from more than 150 countries to exchange ideas, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.
At GDF, we believe that diplomacy is most effective when generations work together — combining the insight of experience with the creativity of new perspectives.
Through our global network, training programmes, and international events, we empower professionals to navigate the challenges of an evolving world and to shape a more peaceful, inclusive, and cooperative global future.
