Diplomatic (7)

I believe the answer is:

tactful

'diplomatic' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tactful that I've seen before include "Like diplomat" , "Discreet - diplomatic" , "Sensitive in dealing with others" , "Polite" , "Sensitive to others on difficult issues" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Irish Independent, The Guardian, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
