Dinner diplomacy!

July 23, 2012: I just got through with the dinner party I had hosted in my residence today. Over the past many months I have been travelling extensively and could not attend most of the dinners, events and receptions organized by the local consuls and diplomats. It occurred to me that I could catch up with many of them over dinner after a long time. So I invited the diplomats from Japan, China, Thailand, Germany, Italy, Nepal, Myanmar and others to my residence over dinner. I am thankful that they were all very kind to attend.

The dinner party went off very well and only later did I realize that it turned out to be a sort of my very own dinner diplomacy, though I hadn’t planned it that way.
