It is a major instrument of statecraft. Major tool of foreign policy and international relations Diplomacy plays its role even in war situation It is the first line of defense.

9 Economic diplomacy: History and development Under old diplomacy Greek States to Roman Empire Commercial interest was a prime motivating factor in inter state relations Under new diplomacy Focus was on aid, trade in 1950s and 1960s Emphasis on investment in the 1980s and 1990s Under contemporary diplomacy Integrated approach Focus is on aid, trade, investment, technology, tourism, people movement, employment, green economy etc
10 Economic diplomacy in Nepal Trade relations with Tibet and the British in the 18 th and 19 th century Mobilization of foreign aid became a priority in the aftermath of political changes in In the post-1990, several taskforces and working groups to make diplomacy more effective. The High Level Task Force Report in 1996 gave emphasis on reviewing diplomacy to focus on economic interests Consequent reforms and structural changes made and foreign policy was reoriented to focus on economic interests
11 Contd In 2006, another High Level Foreign Policy Task Force which stressed on economic relations as one of the major pillars of foreign policy Thus, diplomacy for development as a new dimension of FP after the restoration of democratic dispensation in 1990 Both national, regional and international factors contributed Of late, economic diplomacy has gradually been developing as an integral part of overall foreign policy Mainstreaming and institutionalization of economic diplomacy for socio-economic development of the country is emphasized upon from different sectors
12 Contd Periodic plans also emphasized upon the importance of economic diplomacy for the overall development endeavours of the country. Government s due priority to economic diplomacy Role of private sector is duly recognized Three Year Interim Plan 2010/ /2013 for the first time had the provision of economic diplomacy Current Three Year Plan made a number of provisions for the successful implementation of economic diplomacy In recent years, the Government has been earmarking budgets for economic diplomacy since MOFA allocates to Embassies based on their proposed programs and actual performances
13 Objectives of Economic Diplomacy Enhancing economic and overall national security Mobilizing resources for development Promoting trade, exploring markets for national products and supporting businesses overseas Promoting culture and tourism Attracting Foreign Direct Investment in priority sectors Promoting foreign employment Increasing volume of aid and its effectiveness Mobilizing Diaspora resources

18 How we conduct economic diplomacy?

21 Economic Diplomacy of Nepal: Opportunities Geographical dividend Peace dividend Democratic dividend Demographic dividend Diplomatic dividend Resource dividend Diasporic dividend
22 Gaps in economic diplomacy Low diplomatic presence and low profile diplomacy Lack of training and orientation Diplomatic skills and knowledge lacking Organizational Lack of inter-agency cooperation Clear goals & Budgetary constraints long term objectives Communica tion and information People and Knowledge Structural Lack of and failed to use international support measures Political instability and lack of consensus Traditional diplomacy
23 Lesson learnt and way forward Policy coherence and consensus Whole of government approach Strong partnership Proactive economic diplomacy Enterprising private sector Vigorous and consistent promotion National brand Financial and budgetary support Skill manpower Use of regional and international forums Constructive use of Diaspora resources Take advantage of strategic geography
24 Take away Modern diplomacy is guided by economic interest as much as political and security interests. Economic diplomacy has become a defining feature of international relations in recent years. Today s diplomat should be like an economist, business person, investor, tour and travel operator etc. He/she is a protector and promoter of country s economic interests at all time. Proactive, pragmatic and constructive economic diplomacy both at bilateral, regional and multilateral levels is essential to scale up national development
