“I always read The Diplomat with interest and pleasure. It provides my colleagues and myself high quality analysis of business and political events and keeps us informed with up-to-date info on the latest developments and changes in the political and economic environment. The magazine quenches our thirst for reading about foreign investments in Romania, reports about the main national and international events, legislation and leisure. Therefore, as it is an enjoyable magazine that we wait to read every month, I wish The Diplomat a Happy Anniversary!”
