About the Internship

The MEA Internship Policy 2022 aims to take foreign policy closer to the people; bring in more focus on MEA; provide more value to the interns; ensure better gender inclusivity and increase diversity in terms of qualifications, domicile, and socio-economic status amongst the cohort of interns engaged by the Ministry.
