Yet, in simple words public diplomacy is the influence of nation on foreign audiences. Public diplomacy may also be defined as ‘direct communication with foreign peoples, with the aim of affecting their thinking and ultimately, that of their governments’ . Hence, public diplomacy can be thought of as a process of a nation listening and understanding the needs of other countries and communicating its viewpoint to eventually build relationships.
