What Is Public Diplomacy?

Public Diplomacy Foreign Service Officer Kristin Kane shares the importance and outcomes of public diplomacy efforts.

The U.S. Department of State builds relationships with people and governments of other countries in many different ways. While diplomacy is often thought of as formal meetings with foreign officials, diplomacy is also meeting, talking, and working with the citizens of other countries.

Public diplomacy is outreach and engagement which strengthens the relationships between the people of the United States and citizens of other countries. The connections made between people through public diplomacy are essential in creating mutual understanding and respect between the people and the United States.
