International diplomatic fellowship assembly
GeoEconomic Diplomatic Corps

From Foreign Policy to Active Geoeconomic Statecraft.

The transition from traditional foreign policy to active geoeconomic statecraft requires concrete, verifiable standards of competency. The GEDC establishes this baseline through two formal professional tracks and a selective Senior Fellowship for outstanding policy architects.

Two formal professional tracks

The GEDC Credential Architecture

The GeoEconomic Diplomatic Corps establishes verifiable professional standards through two credential tracks designed for practitioners at different stages of their careers — from serving diplomats and sovereign capital allocators to emerging scholars and early-career civil servants.

Together, the CGD and AGP form the competency backbone of the GEDC, feeding directly into the 193 Sovereign Envoy Charter and the annual October 24th Global Assembly.

Credential pathways

A dual-track route to modern statecraft

The CGD track supports senior diplomatic and policy leadership. The AGP track develops research, risk modelling, RWA tracking, and accelerated mentoring capability.
