Diplomacia is the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of states or groups. It involves managing international relations, typically through the use of diplomacy, which is the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations, typically by a country's representatives abroad. Diplomats, who are individuals authorized to represent their country, engage in communication, negotiation, and representation to advance their nation's interests. This can include fostering peaceful coexistence, resolving disputes, promoting trade, and establishing alliances.

The primary tools of diplomacy include negotiation, mediation, and public diplomacy. Negotiation involves direct discussions between parties to reach an agreement. Mediation sees a neutral third party assisting in facilitating these discussions. Public diplomacy aims to influence foreign publics and foster understanding and support for a country's policies and values. Historically, diplomacy has evolved from informal exchanges between rulers to a sophisticated system of embassies, consulates, and international organizations. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, established in 1961, sets out the framework for diplomatic intercourse between states, outlining privileges and immunities for diplomats and diplomatic missions. The ultimate goal of diplomacy is to maintain international peace and security and to foster cooperation among nations.
