National and International Relations

National relations refer to how a country's government manages its internal affairs and interacts with its own citizens, institutions, and local entities. International relations, on the other hand, involve the interactions between different countries, including diplomacy, trade, security, and international agreements. Both are essential for maintaining peace, stability, and cooperation—nationally within a country, and globally among nations. Essentially, national relations focus on a country's internal governance, while international relations deal with its external partnerships and conflicts on the world stage.
