international diplomacy
Nations talking formally
International diplomacy is the practice of managing relations between nations through negotiation, dialogue, and formal agreements rather than force.
It encompasses treaty-making, conflict resolution, trade negotiations, and the work of ambassadors and foreign ministries.
International diplomacy prevented the border dispute from escalating into war.
The term often implies multilateral engagement—working through institutions like the United Nations—as opposed to purely bilateral dealings between two countries.
