"............. go speak to the trade diplomat who might have loads of connections and networks "

Agentkhoo: what world do you live in. These so called trade diplomat are God's, they will not see individuals, you will be lucky to be put through to him/her on the phone. The benefit of their presence is only for large government/multinational projects. Where the kick back or a back to back agreement has already been made on a very high level. These are jobs for the boys who had the same neck tie.
