Participants developed expertise in crafting culturally appropriate and impactful diplomatic documents and statements—vital for representing COMSATS in international fora.

The training significantly enhanced the diplomatic readiness of COMSATS officials, strengthening their capacity to represent the organization in global platforms, foster international partnerships, and advance COMSATS’ mission of collaborative science and technology development through informed, strategic diplomacy.
