One of the key objectives of diplomacy is to promote amicable ties of friendship and cooperation between different groups of people. Traditionally, diplomacy is carried out between representatives of states, namely diplomats.

 

Yet contact and interaction between people across the borders do indeed contribute to the fostering of solid ground for traditional diplomacy. Public diplomacy in the 21st century is not simply about promoting national interests by seeking to influence the people of other countries. It is increasingly becoming more of a case of communication between peoples of different backgrounds at the international level.

 

It seeks to foster mutual understanding and encourage people to cooperate with one another so that they are better able to achieve their shared goals and promote common interests. Such role and value of public diplomacy will no doubt remain unchanged in the post-COVID-19 world.

 

Against this backdrop, the Global Public Diplomacy Center has the following objectives:

​

-To deepen awareness and understanding of public diplomacy, with an emphasis on the fact that it is, in fact, a process of two-way communication on a basis of equality.

-To facilitate dialogue and cooperation between people of diverse nationalities.

-To contribute to the academic discipline of public diplomacy

-To help shape the public diplomacy policy in such a way as to promote mutual

interests or pursue enlightened self-interest.

-To render support for young people to communicate with their counterparts in

other parts of the world.
