[1] Under the Presidency of His Highness the Aga Khan IV, who was elected in 2000, the ADI has focused its efforts on diplomatic training and emerging dynamics in international relations and modern diplomacy.
The Académie Diplomatique Internationale is an institution dedicated to advancing the practice of modern diplomacy and contributing to the understanding and analysis of the emerging dynamics in international affairs.
In recognition of the impact of globalization, the ADI today engages not only the traditional diplomatic and foreign policy communities, but also new actors such as multi-lateral institutions, corporations, advocacy groups, and others involved in shaping regional and international dynamics.
In exercising its mission, the ADI draws upon its decades-long engagement in international relations - and upon an unparalleled network of global contacts - to match expertise and capacities among professionals from the public, private and independent sectors.
