Indirect Diplomacy

Indirect diplomacy refers to a diplomatic approach where countries communicate and negotiate through intermediaries or third parties instead of direct talks. This method can help ease tensions, as it allows parties to engage without facing each other directly. It is often used in sensitive situations where trust is low or when direct communication might escalate conflicts. By involving a neutral party, indirect diplomacy aims to facilitate understanding, build rapport, and find common ground, ultimately working towards conflict resolution or cooperation without the pressures of face-to-face interactions.
