Naval diplomacy

Naval diplomacy refers to the use of naval forces and maritime presence by a country to communicate, build relationships, and influence other nations without direct conflict. By deploying ships or participating in joint exercises, a country can demonstrate power, promote alliances, and signal its intentions. It’s a strategic tool for fostering cooperation, ensuring safe navigation, and projecting strength overseas, all through maritime engagements rather than military confrontation. This approach helps maintain regional stability and advance national interests through peaceful, symbolically powerful actions at sea.
