The Committed Commercial Diplomats
In addition, it requires an in-depth knowledge of commercial and macroeconomic analysis of policy issues ranging from health and the environment to the prudential supervision of insurance, contemporary international investment policy-making, social responsibility, the prevention of corruption, the politics of trade and foreign investment, national trade laws and global trade rules, international arbitration and public diplomacy. Commercial Diplomats are committed members of a new unique class of professionals in an appropriately regulated unique profession. Being a recognised and qualified, an approved, authorised, accredited, registered and appropriately regulated commercial diplomat requires all the finesse, skills-based knowledge and specialisms-based expertise of international trade-related policy and traditional, commercial and judicial diplomacy.
As accredited commercial diplomats, they are regulated under the Commercial Diplomatic Code which incorporates all these applicable adopted rules. These specialist practitioners are highly-disciplined, integrity-driven, highly-proficient and highly-influential members of the new uniquely dynamic class of learned accomplished professionals that bring proven significant practical wealth of experience from across a diverse range and spectrum of related-relevant sector-specific services.
The accredited commercial diplomat will have acquired the necessary skills and techniques, and learn the multi-disciplinary approach to responsible commercial diplomatic leadership, and get equipped to deal with the demands of the more challenging, burdensome, complex, and disruptive trade, investment and commerce-related environment of the future.
The effective engagements, communications and connections by the commercial diplomat, through diplomatic institutions, missions and other offices should help in liaising consistently with the principals in related-relevant sector-specific institutions and services, especially international trade and investment, commerce and industry, agriculture and natural resources, maritime services, foreign trade relations, and other diplomatic sectors. In addition to all these, the status as commercial diplomat or commercial diplomat-in-chief should allow for outreach into all economies.
In addition to policy analysis, facilitation, negotiation, promotion and advocacy issues, arbitration and mediation functions also comprise a significant aspect of the commercial diplomat's remit, particularly with regard to the resolution, settlement and management of international trade, investment and commerce-related disputes, the promotion of trade and investment, commerce and industry, agriculture and natural resources (including agricultural products), maritime affairs opportunities are central to the purpose of appointing or having a high-ranking official in the rank of accredited commercial diplomat or commercial diplomat-in-chief as representative of State, multinational corporation, multilateral organization, diplomatic institution or central, commercial, investment and regional banks.
