The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ online public service offer
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strives to regularly overhaul its online public services.
It publishes a Conseils aux voyageurs (Travellers’ advice) smartphone and tablet application, allowing anyone to remain updated in real time of any new alert and to consult country and thematic files (health, safety, transport, etc.).
download the “Conseils aux voyageurs” application for iPad from iTunes
download the “Conseils aux voyageurs” application for Android tablets from Google Play
download the “Conseils aux voyageurs” application for iPhone and iPod Touch
download the “Conseils aux voyageurs” application for Android smartphones
This tablet application enhances the existing public service offer thanks to the Conseils aux voyageurs (Travellers’ advice) section of the France Diplomatie website and the @ConseilsVoyages Twitter account.
In terms of assistance for French nationals, apart from practical information sections on its website, such as Français à l’étranger (French nationals abroad) and Adopter à l’étranger (adopting abroad), for example, the Ministry also offers online services for travellers and French expatriates:
The Ariane application allows French travellers who wish to do so to post information about their trips abroad. These data are used only in the case of crisis, by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Crisis Centre and embassies, so as to contact users if emergency operations are organized.
The online Monconsulat.fr service allows French expatriates to consult and update their personal data, electoral status and security data.

Digital diplomacy and knowledge management
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working on the upcoming creation of an interministerial diplomatic correspondence portal. Called “Diplomatie”, it aims to collate exchanges between different French foreign policy players in one place, from formal letters to diplomatic telegrams and notes.
Background
The “Diplomatie” portal is an open source project (using free software), in accordance with the Prime Minister’s guidelines. It integrates electronic document management in a professional social network. It is linked to the creation of the Secretariat-General for Government Modernisation (SGMAP), following the announcement of a roadmap for electronic administration (E-MAP). It allows foreign policy players to keep up to date with the digital transformation of France’s public administration.
“Diplomatie” supports the increasing importance of France’s communication on digital networks, benefiting all our diplomatic and consular posts. It will also contribute to the economic diplomacy action plan, which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched in August 2013. Businesses invited to participate in the portal will have direct access to certain diplomatic correspondence.
Advantages
This new communication instrument has significant advantages for the whole administration:
It ranks diplomatic information, providing decision-makers with relevant information quickly, differentiating clearly between correspondence requiring action and other types of document;
It is at the same time a response suited to the needs expressed by administration employees and a productivity factor, thanks to its interministerial nature. The platform will enable the registration of real professional networks in ad hoc virtual spaces; modular communities; reduced email use; accessibility via mobile devices; and the sharing of information.
It is an innovation factor. By welcoming in its opinion the innovative solution proposed by “Diplomatie”, the Interministerial Directorate for Information and Communications Systems (DISIC) invited the project’s partner administrations to show, both internally and externally, how the public administration is capable of exploiting the digital levers of modernization.
It integrates the latest generation security equipment and software for information systems, including in terms of mobility, in liaison with the French Network and Information Security Agency (ANSSI).

JORDANIAN DIPLOMACY TESTED BY SOCIAL NETWORKING DEC 15, 2010
Jordanian and Palestinian social network activists were busy this past weekend exchanging videos, pictures, and comments on the clashes following a local match in Amman on Friday evening. The match was between Al-Wehdat and Al-Faisali clubs. The players of the first club are made up, mainly, of Jordanians who are from a Palestinian origin, and the latter represents the originally Jordanian national team. Al-Wehdat won the match, the supporters of Al-Faisali, the losing club, left the stadium first, which is common for the supporters of the losing party and then clashes erupted between the supporters of Al-Wehdat supporters and the police, whose members, according to witnesses attacked the crowd of supporters which caused an accident that left about 250 wounded from Al-Wehdat enthusiasts, most of whom come from the Palestinian Territories.
The social networks, mainly Facebook and YouTube burst with videos, pictures, comments and news shortly after the event. Few hours after the clashes erupted, online news sites like Ammoun, and Rum news had images, news headlines and videos on the event. It was not till the next day that the local public media reported on the clashes. The online news websites and social networks took the lead in informing, analyzing, and making comments and campaigning right after the clashes. This was faced with poor performance from the Jordanian government. Most importantly they fell short of taking the lead in informing the local public opinion and the international public opinion. This made other sources more active and left for speculation, and misinformation. Queen Rania of Jordan is one of the most followed personalities in Twitter; she has about a million and a half followers. Her page on Twitter had no updates or relevant information. The page of the Prime Minister also did not provide, nor did the website of the Jordanian TV and Radio.
An important angle of the event that was discussed in international media was the WikiLeaks and their possible instigation of the clashes. There was a document on a similar match between the two teams last year in which the supporters of Al-Faisali club chanting slogans reported to be offensive to Queen Rania who is of Palestinian origin.
Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein was the first to make a public statement in his capacity as the Founder and the director of the National Center for Security & Crisis Management and the President of Jordan Football Association, stating that an investigation is on those responsible for the clashes will be held accountable for their actions. The situation could deteriorate if the government does not work actively in forming the public opinion and presenting an evenhanded policy towards the perpetrators. Many commentators and social media activists view these clashes as clashes between the Palestinians and Jordanians in the country. Few extreme voices could grow visible for the vacuum that is created by the lack of active and transparent dissemination of information. If not then this will have its effect on the image of the government and the country for few years to come.
