In the digital age, diplomacy has expanded beyond closed-door negotiations and traditional state-to-state communication, giving rise to digital diplomacy, where governments and international organizations utilize social media platforms and online tools to engage with global audiences. Digital diplomacy allows for real-time, two-way communication between diplomats and foreign publics, making it an essential tool for shaping international perceptions, promoting national interests, and managing global crises. Countries like Ukraine, through President Volodymyr Zelensky’s appeals during the Russia-Ukraine war, have successfully used digital platforms to garner international support and mobilize public opinion. Similarly,  the current president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro has used platforms such as X  to defend the regime’s policies and counter foreign criticism (add gaza) .As digital diplomacy continues to evolve, it plays a critical role in modern foreign policy, bridging the gap between state actors and global audiences while also presenting new challenges, such as managing misinformation and cyber threats.​
