The workshop on ‘Modern Diplomacy for Small States’, which took place in June 2010 in Malta, achieved all of its objectives and was very well received by the participants, all from Commonwealth countries and most from small states. The focus of the workshop was to provide insights into the diplomatic experiences of Malta, and nearly all the lecturers were practicing Maltese diplomats. The contribution of practitioners rather than academics brought a particularly valuable dimension to the workshop. Countries represented: Cameroon, Gambia, Grenada, Kenya, Malawi, Maldives, Mauritius, Nigeria, Seychelles, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago.
