There was a time when I used to hate politics and believed that only clowns run this business … until my father started discussing it with me in an interesting story-telling manner. Since then I have developed a liking for observing the local and global political scenarios.

One way to do so is to have career diplomats that are experts at what they do. They are selected on the basis of merit and are free from any influence. This will not only establish a defined policy but will also bring consistency in plans, which is exactly what we need right now.
