Daily Cuts - S1E214: What does it take to be a diplomat?
A new book titled ‘Beyond the Handshake: Singapore’s Foreign Service’ gives us a glimpse into what it’s like to be a diplomat. It contains a collection of reflections and experiences from 21 retired ambassadors and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) senior diplomats. CNA938’s Arnold Gay and Yasmin Jonkers speak with one of them, Ambassador A. Selverajah. He is Non-Resident Ambassador to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the African Union, and also a senior fellow at the MFA Diplomatic Academy.
