Question for Ambassador Rana --- Dear Ambassador Rana,

My name is Cecilia Treemonisha Barros Ruiz, I am a diplomat from Mexico. I found very interesting your October 7 message. You kindly shared with the participants that India was pushed towards economic diplomacy after the ‘first oil price shock’ in 1973 and that your first ambassadorship was in Algeria in 1975. I would like to know if we can learn more about your experience in that country and if you think that nowadays Algeria must push forward to a major openness in business, commerce and economic issues. Also, your point of view about an Algerian pending task: show to the world, its rich cultural background almost unknown e.g. Berber heritage of Numidian kings Masinissa, Juba II, St. Augustine and Albert Camus.

I couldn’t open the link to your Chapter 6 from my book Diplomacy at the Cutting Edge, (2016). Available at: https://www.diplomacy.edu/diplomacy-cutting-edge Is it possible to review this technical issue? Kind regards.
