Before stepping onto the global stage, every diplomat must understand not just the nuances of foreign policy, but also the ethics and conduct that define a professional workplace. With this in mind, the 45th Specialized Diplomatic Course at the Foreign Service Academy, Islamabad, attended a lecture delivered by Honourable Federal Ombudsperson, Ms. Fauzia Viqar, on ‘Harassment and Intercultural Sensitivities.’

The session highlighted the importance of fostering culturally aware and safe professional environments, providing future diplomats with guidance to uphold dignity, ethical standards, and workplace safety in all settings.

The lecture reinforced the importance of integrity and professionalism as essential qualities for Pakistan’s diplomatic corps.
