From Prototype to Must-Have Diplomatic Tool
Less than two years after its first pilot volume, Bilateral Navigator has evolved from an experiment in data-driven diplomacy into a practical bilateral insight platform used by hundreds of ambassadors, consuls general, and honorary consuls to better understand and strengthen relationships between countries.
Each Bilateral Navigator edition is shaped through active participation by serving diplomats, government officials, and business leaders, featuring interviews and curated imagery from their diplomatic, political, economic, and cultural activities while representing their home countries abroad. Every volume follows a consistent analytical structure while remaining fully bespoke to the two countries involved, typically spanning more than 350 full-color pages across approximately 40 thematic domains.

Head-of-Government Endorsement
On 18 June 2025, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković presented the edition Croatia & India – Bilateral Navigator for Diplomats and Business Leaders to India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi during Modi's official visit to Zagreb. Both leaders shared the exchange publicly, with international Tier-1 media outlets picking up the story within hours.
Prime Minister Plenković described the book as providing "a unique and comprehensive comparative overview of our two countries and exploring all dimensions of bilateral relations," adding that it reflects achievements as well as unrealized potential for future cooperation.
"This is indeed a remarkable symbol of the enduring intellectual and cultural bonds between India and Croatia. May these bonds get even stronger in the times to come."
— Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India
For the Bilateral Navigator team, this moment marked a transition from experimental concept to recognized diplomatic artifact.
A Living Library of Bilateral Insight
"The hardcover format is not the mission. It is simply the most effective way to translate complex analytics into a credible, protocol-friendly tangible asset that senior stakeholders immediately understand, keep, and share."
— Dr. Siniša Grgić, author of Bilateral Navigator and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in Sweden
Each Bilateral Navigator edition analyzes a country pair across approximately 40 domains, including geopolitical context, economic synergy, green partnership, innovation alignment, diplomatic cooperation, business networks, communication, and cultural connectors.
Advanced data science is used to structure thousands of indicators into clear comparative tables. Rank-based standardization makes it easy to identify alignment, divergence, and opportunities at a glance, while preserving the depth required for serious strategic work.
Participation Driven by Real Diplomacy
"It proves that rigorous, visual storytelling can open doors faster than any traditional position paper. I have presented the book to President Javier Milei and several other heads of state, and it consistently sparks immediate, serious engagement."
— Yaakov Flitchkin, American partner and early supporter of Bilateral Navigator
Bilateral Navigator is built through selective participation. Ambassadors, honorary consuls, and experts contribute interviews, short profiles, and images that reflect their real-world diplomatic and professional engagement.
Contributors do not share responsibility for analytical content, which remains with the author and project team. Contributors are welcome to suggest corrections if they notice anything materially incorrect, and all contributions are reviewed prior to print. Participation is voluntary and free of charge.
