Diplomats as litterateurs

Shashi Taroor is Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information of the United Nations and has published several important books.
In an article published on the Indian newspaper "The Hindu" he mentions not only diplomats who won Nobel Prizes (Neruda, Paz, Saint-John Perse, Claudel)but also less known examples of literary diplomacy in Africa and India.
