From June 24 to 27, 2019, the Foreign Ministry held a seminar on diplomatic negotiation and mediation. During the seminar, leaders of relevant departments, bureaus and divisions, former ambassadors, and experts outside the Ministry gave thematic lectures based on diplomatic cases. The trainees also had mock negotiation and mediation, and carried out exchanges and discussions. They expressed that they have benefited a lot from the seminar and will work hard to put knowledge into practice, and improve their ability of diplomatic negotiation and mediation in the new era.
