Digital Diplomacy, a contemporary methodology, leverages the internet[1] and numerous digital channels to address foreign policy concerns. It is adopted by a diverse array of entities such as state departments, embassies, diplomats, and even non-state actors. This method has seen a substantial rise in popularity, with nearly all United Nations member countries maintaining a diplomatic presence on social media platforms such as Twitter. Digital diplomacy is instrumental in shaping public opinion regarding foreign policy agendas and enabling collaborative efforts on diplomatic campaigns. Despite its advantages, it is not without its hurdles as it can occasionally trigger diplomatic dilemmas or propagate false information. Prominent figures in this arena include Jovan Kurbalija, Joshua Fouts, Carl Bildt, Davina Tham, and Tom Miles.
