As many of you know, Lauder-Reut students enjoy an exclusive educational offer that is unique in preuniversity academics: accredited Diplomacy, International Relations, Business, Media, and Communication studies. Our Lauder-Reut students follow these studies during 3 of the 4 high school years, all thanks to the exclusive academic partnerships that the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation concluded upon opening the high school in 2006 – with prestigious Romanian and foreign universities, the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Romanian Diplomatic Institute, the Raphael Recanati International School and the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy in Israel, the British Council Romania, the Lauder Business School of Vienna, the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, and the Cannes Lions Romania. Today, we pride ourselves with three graduating high school classes that specialized in this field and discovered how fascinating it is. They want to continue to share their experiences, the joy of study and of the exchange of knowledge and ideas, with their peers in Romania, as well as abroad. On the anniversary 7 years of diplomacy, international relations, and business at Lauder-Reut High School, we wanted to create a celebratory program that will popularize the study of these fields among all high school students. During this second edition of the Conference, we have been thrilled with excitement by the large support given by the Romanian highest central and local authorities, who responded with much sympathy and effective contribution to our idea of a high school Conference on diplomacy and international relations. For their involvement and for the presence among us of their highest level representatives, I would like to thank The Romanian Parliament-Deputy Chamber-President Valeriu Zgonea, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs- Minister Titus Corlatean and Secretary of State Bogdan Aurescu, The Ministry of National Education-Minister Remus Pricopie, The School Inspectorate of Bucharest-General Inspector Constantin Traistaru, The City Hall of District 3 of Bucharest-Mayor Liviu Negoita. 1 I would also like to thank the Diplomatic Missions and Their Excellences, the Ambassadors of The Republic of Argentina, The Republic of South Africa, The Czech Republic, The United States of America, State of Israel, The Kingdom of Nederland’s, The Federal Republic of Germany in in Romania, for their extraordinary benevolence and hospitality, for welcoming our LAuder-Reut teams of students in diplomacy and for being with us at the Conference works. I observed with great joy how our young students from the Lauder-Reut High School joined many talented students from Mihai Viteazul National College, Matei Basarab National College, Al. I. Cuza High school, Dante Alighieri High School, School no 196 “F. G. Lorca”, School no 70, School no 81, School no 84, School no 88, School no 149, School no 195 and School no 200 in Bucharest.
