2024/25 Roundtable Series - Diplomatique™ Vienna
Following their involvement in the establishment of the Austrian Parliament International Prayer Breakfast—now in its eighth year—the founders of Diplomatique™ consulted with the Presidents of Parlament Österreich and resolved that Austria should host one of the inaugural gatherings of the series.
Starting the 2024/25 series in Vienna is especially fitting, given the city's remarkable status as a historic European capital and a prominent diplomatic hub. Vienna is home to esteemed international organizations, including the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the United Nations, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), making it an ideal location for fostering meaningful dialogue among global leaders.

Ambassador Sam Brownback, Chairman of the our Advisory Board, has graciously accepted the role of moderator for each gathering in the inaugural Diplomatique™ Series. We also anticipate that a distinguished statesman or stateswoman from each host city will join the ambassador at these events, enhancing the depth of our discussions.
We very much hope our esteemed friend, The Honorable Karl von Habsburg might be able participate in this initiative as a co-Moderator for Diplomatique™ Vienna.
Given His Excellency's distinguished career as a European parliamentarian and his unwavering commitment to promoting peace, as well as his advocacy for the protection of cultural heritage through the work of Blue Shield and UNESCO, we believe his involvement would be invaluable. Furthermore, his leadership in various initiatives, including his contribution to the Order of St. George and his role as a champion for Europe, would no doubt enhance and stimulate our discussions and provide essential local and cultural insights.
