At the beginning of May, The Diplomatic Council Soiree launched a series of exclusive diplomatic events, a collaboration between the Hotel de Rome (Rocco Forte Hotels) and the Diplomatic Council. As members of The Luxury Network, both partners have joined forces to create a win-win situation, in order to welcome diplomats and top representatives from the business community, together with the diplomatic magazine, as a regular exchange.

The invited guests were welcomed in the elegant ambiance of the 5-star hotel to celebrate 50 years of ASEAN. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations includes Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. The ambassadors of Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, as well as Sri Lanka’s ambassadors – all members of the Diplomatic Council Organization – were also present and were available as interlocutors throughout the evening.
