In the interview, Corneliu Bjola talks about how diplomacy is changing in the digital age, the importance of organizational culture and the difficult perception of loss of control, the role of creativity, transparency and trolls, the new ethics of diplomacy, the initiative of the new Danish Tech Ambassador, and much more.
