Training Programme for Mid-level Civil Servants and Executives will be held on August 22-25, 2007 at Jaipur, India.

Background:
Commercial Diplomacy is diplomacy with a commercial twist – diplomacy designed to influence foreign government policy and regulatory decisions that affect global trade and investment.

A commercial diplomat is a professional skilled in advancing the interests of an organisation on international trade and investment, in developing agreements on international commercial issues and in resolving policy conflicts among nations over commercial issues.

The tools of commercial & economic diplomacy include:
• Promotion of trade and investment
• Country promotion and its image building process
• Negotiations
• Operational document creation
• Public and private communication analysis
(especially in the field of economics, politics, law and international relations)

Coalition building:
In comparison to the counterparts from developed countries, when it comes to the application of various tools of commercial & economic diplomacy, developing country representatives often do not perform at the same level of efficiency and effectiveness.

One reason is relative inadequacy of education and training in commercial & economic diplomacy. Individual's capacity to negotiate is one of the crucial determinants of outcomes of such a process.

Considering this gap and realising the vacuum that exists in terms of absence of institutional base in developing countries to offer training/education of commercial & economic diplomacy and related aspects, the Department of Commerce has sponsored CUTS Institute of Regulation and Competition (CIRC) to conduct such training programmes.
