We are proud to offer the use of our platform at no cost to all

Consular Corps in the world. We recognize the tireless effort that

Consular Corps officers put into their organizations in order to

advance international relations for their regions. We also know that

these efforts are often accomplished with little to no funding. Our

contribution is meant to be a token of support that helps promote the

cause of global understanding.
