Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) technology offers new perspectives and opportunities in international diplomacy. Unlike traditional methods of establishing relationships between states, this technology allows diplomats to engage in discussions, establish contact, and resolve issues remotely while maintaining a sense of personal involvement. The application of VR in diplomacy can ensure more transparent and effective agreements through visual and interactive experiences. At the same time, the use of this technology may lead to new ways of thinking in security, ethics, and humanitarian matters. This paper will explore the application of virtual reality in international diplomacy and the challenges and opportunities it presents in modern diplomatic practice. Additionally, it will analyze the potential future of this technology in diplomatic contacts and decision-making processes.
