The City Government of China Nanjing is pleased to invite Diplomatic Council members for a VIP visit of the China (Nanjing) Golden Autumn Economic and Trade Fair (referred as the "Golden Fair").

It has been held since 1990 and has been successfully held for 29 sessions. It has become one of the most comprehensive and representative high-level investment promotion events in the Jiangsu Province. It is also one of China's well-known and important regional large-scale exhibition events, with extensive influence in China and globally.

The World Internet of Things Convention will be held in mid-November in Beijing. The Diplomatic Council will be co-host of the event for the first time. "We look forward to a long-term partnership with the WIOTC addressing one of the most important topic for our future", says Luciën Tjon, Diplomatic Council Chairman International Relations.

This year’s Diplomatic Council Executive Club contained more variety and substance according to those members who attended.

Dr. Horst Walther provided a summary on the global political, economic and military climate. His in-depth analysis: more and more the focus has shifted to The Group of Two (G2) – China versus USA; adding Russia one could talk about G3; however, G7, G8 or even G20 loses relevance.

As in previous years, the Diplomatic Council Summer Celebration 2019 as well as the Executive Club are captured in a short film.
