After meeting the young diplomats, Abhay Kumar said that 12 diplomats from Comoros will also be joining the course. It is for the first time that a special course for the diplomats of the Indian Ocean Region countries including Srilanka, Mauritius, Maldives, Seychelles, Madagascar and Comoros is being organised at the Sushma Swaraj Foreign Service Institute, New Delhi.
