Happy New Year to DiploPundit's visitors, followers,
readers, sources, tipsters, email-pals and friends!

As we say goodbye to the old year,
we leave you with T.S. Eliot on the new year:
"For last year's words belong to last year's language
and next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."


Stay safe y'all!
