However, some potential ways that humanitarian diplomacy can help build relationships between nations include:

​

  1. Fostering Cooperation and Mutual Understanding:

    • Humanitarian diplomacy often involves nations collaborating to address shared challenges, such as natural disasters, health crises, or humanitarian emergencies.

    • Through this cooperation, nations can develop a better understanding of each other's perspectives, priorities, and capabilities, which can help build trust and strengthen bilateral/multilateral relationships.

  2. Demonstrating Goodwill and Shared Values:

    • When nations engage in humanitarian diplomacy by providing aid, resources, and support to those in need, it can showcase their commitment to humanitarian principles and shared values like compassion, empathy, and a concern for human welfare.

    • This display of goodwill and shared values can help improve perceptions and strengthen diplomatic ties between nations.

  3. Facilitating Dialogue and Conflict Resolution:

    • Humanitarian diplomacy can create opportunities for open dialogue and negotiation between nations, even in the midst of political tensions or conflicts.

    • By focusing on shared humanitarian objectives, nations may be more willing to engage in constructive discussions and find common ground, which can help resolve disputes and improve bilateral relations.

  4. Enhancing Soft Power and Influence:

    • Effective humanitarian diplomacy can enhance a nation's soft power and international influence, as it demonstrates their willingness to be a responsible global citizen and contribute to the greater good.

    • This can lead to increased respect, credibility, and leverage in diplomatic negotiations and international affairs.

​
