Цель: установить основные причины заключения династического брака между мамлюкским султаном ан-Насиром и царевной Тулунбай из чингизидского рода и проанализировать результаты его расторжения по материалам средневековых арабских летописей. Материалы исследования: средневековые арабоязычные летописи мамлюкских авторов: Ибн Дукмака, ал-Калькашанди, ал-Макризи, Могултая, ан-Нувейри, Ибн Тагрибарди, ал-Элайни и др. Результаты и научная новизна: дипломатические связи между Египтом и Золотой Ордой были вызваны экономическими и внешнеполитическими задачами, стоявшими перед обоими государствами. Египет в то время было одним из мощных и влиятельных государств на мусульманском Востоке и с большим интересом следил за событиями, происходившими в Золотой Орде. Интерес стимулировался тем, что Золотая Орда была вовлечена в орбиту ислама и все интенсивнее интегрировала ислам в повседневную культуру золотоордынского общества. После укрепления позиций Золотой Орды во времена правления Узбек хана, мамлюкские султаны еще больше стали упрочивать свои взаимоотношения с Золотой Ордой. Одним из значимых шагов в сближении двух стран был династический брак между мамлюкским султаном ан-Насиром и царевной из чингизидского рода по имени Тулунбай. Тема, представленная в статье, актуальна тем, что вопрос о политическом значении династических связей мамлюкских и золотоордынских правителей остается недостаточно изученным. Между тем династический брак представляется как политический акт: изъявление доброй воли одного государства по отношению к другому и способ укрепления влияния одной страны на другую. Новизна исследования заключается в том, что наряду с подробным анализом сведений арабских летописей по данной тематике впервые была представлена могила царевны Тулунбай, сохранившаяся до наших дней на территории Египта. ; Objective: to identify the main reasons for the dynastic marriage between Mamluk Sultan al-Nasir and the Chinggisid princess Tulunbay and to analyze the impact of the termination of the marriage, according to medieval Arab chronicles. Research materials: medieval Arab chronicles of Mamluk authors: Ibn Duqmaq, al-Qalqashandi, al-Maqrizi, Mogultay, al-Nuwayri, Ibn Tagriberdi, al-Ayni et al. Results and novelty of the research: diplomatic relations between Egypt and the Golden Horde were the result of economic and foreign policy objectives of both states. Egypt at that time was one of the most powerful and influential states in the Muslim East, which showed an increased interest in events in the Golden Horde. This interest was stimulated by the fact that the Golden Horde was involved in the orbit of Islam and began to more intensively integrate Islam into the everyday culture of the Golden Horde society. After the Golden Horde had strengthened its position during the reign of khan Uzbek, Mamluk sultans began to consolidate even more their relations with the Golden Horde. One of the most important steps for the rapprochement between the two countries was a dynastic marriage between Mamluk Sultan al-Nasir and the Chinggisid princess Tulunbay. The object of this study is relevant, since the issue of political significance of dynastic relations between Mamluk and the Golden Horde rulers remain understudied. Meanwhile, the dynastic marriage is presented as a political act: as an expression of the good will of the state in relation to the other and a way to strengthen the influence of one country on another. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that, along with a detailed analysis of the Arab chronicles' information on this subject, it presents for the first time the tomb of princess Tulunbay, which has been preserved in Egypt.

In Muslims in Spain, 1492-1814: Living and Negotiating in the Land of the Infidel, Eloy Martín-Corrales surveys Hispano-Muslim relations from the late fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a period of chronic hostilities. Nonetheless there were thousands of Muslims in Spain at that time: ambassadors, exiles, merchants, converts, and travelers. Their negotiating strategies, and the necessary support they found on both shores of the Mediterranean prove that relations between Spaniards and Muslims were based on reasons of state and on a pragmatism that generated intense political and economic ties.These increased enormously after the peace treaties that Spain signed with Muslim countries between 1767 and 1791. Readership: Of interest for the history of the political, diplomatic, economic, and cultural relations between Spain and Muslim countries of the Maghreb and Middle East in the Early Modern Age.

This report aims to highlight the importance of cultural diplomacy for the international relation between Australia and Colombia. The research aims to make headway into an area of Colombian diplomatic study that has only been minimally scoped to this day, and to attempt to draw tentative conclusions about which strategies can be used to strengthen the bilateral relation between these two countries. This research has examined a combination of primary source materials (speeches, interviews, government statistics, policies), and secondary sources (books, thesis, recent journalism and academic articles), and has discovered that Colombia's cultural diplomacy shortens the distance between Colombia and the countries in the Asia-Pacific region and supports governmental objectives in other areas. Finally, the research has evidence the potential of the Colombia-Australia bilateral relation and the multiple links from where can be strengthen.

In a discussion on Frances definition of the Syrian borders following WWI, the author traces the border conflicts & agreements that threatened peace in the Levant since the Mudros armistice to argue that the amicable solution between Turkey & France was achieved by diplomatic cordiality, patience, & the promise of Syrian independence. A historical narrative describes the disputes between Turco-French & Anglo-French interests in the development of the Syrian border under Allied occupation, the Ankara Agreement, The Convention of Friendship & Good Neighbourly Relations, and the Dutch Delimitation Convention. The establishment of the Permanent Frontier Commission, & the Turko-French Agreement of 1939 is argued to be credited to the patience, tact, & personal charm of the then Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs.
