Comprehension:
Read the passage carefully and answer questions from 11 to 15:
The phrase ‘public diplomacy’ reflects multiple viewpoints and ideas and hence, does not possess a unique, well-established conceptualization. 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. Public diplomacy is based on the identity and reputation of a nation that is dictated by many factors: political, social, economic and cultural. Trust has been highlighted as the most important factor necessary to initiate a conversation, sustain a dialogue
and build relationships.

It is also highlighted that engagement and dialogue as key indicators of developing relationships in public diplomacy. “Effective public diplomacy is a two-way street with reciprocal influence on both the source and receiver involved in the ongoing communication process”. The ongoing communication process leads to developing lasting relationships with a foreign audience that bestows nations with soft power. Soft power is an advantage in world affairs and incites admiration and respect in other parts of the world. The soft power of a country is defined by three factors: its culture, political values and foreign policies. All these factors primarily rest on its ability to shape preference of others by using strategic communication skills. We must remember that public diplomacy is not a public relations campaign, but to create on enabling environment for government policies.
