From 14 to 17 April 2025, Warsaw hosted the second edition of a training workshop for Palestinian diplomats. This initiative was made possible through the successful collaboration of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Diplomatic Academy of Poland, and the Academy of Diplomats and Expatriates of Palestine.
The initiative aimed to deepen the participants’ understanding of the mechanisms behind European foreign policy and also to foster international trust and promote dialogue as the foundation of effective diplomacy.
The training programme comprised an intensive series of meetings and lectures held at pivotal Polish foreign policy and academic institutions, including the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Analysis and Planning, the Department of EU Foreign Policy, the Department of Strategic Communication and International Disinformation Counteraction, the Polish Institute of International Affairs, the College of Europe in Natolin, and the Jagiellonian University.
Key topics included Poland’s EU Council Presidency, regional security in the context of the war in Ukraine, and Poland’s policy towards the Middle East. These sessions served not only as platforms for exchanging experiences and discussing the current challenges facing the international community.
– In a world where regional and global interests are increasingly intertwined, there is a growing need for active and conscious diplomacy – emphasized H.E. Ambassador of Palestine, Dr. Mahmoud Khalifa, in his address.
– Diplomacy that can prevent conflicts and build lasting solutions before weapons begin to speak.
His speech also had a personal dimension:
– Yesterday, during a conversation with my daughter, I told her that the failure of diplomacy is not just a failure of institutions, but of all of us – the Ambassador continued.
– It proves that we lacked the courage to choose peace over conflict.
