It is a critical role that Cultural Diplomacy plays in multilateral trade negotiations, as it is through Cultural Diplomacy that we come to understand each other. When we think of what strategies to employ in our development programs for example, [Cultural Diplomacy is important], as if you do not understand the potential partner in terms of their [[Culture|culture]], their orientation, or their conception of economic development, then you are going to miss out. That is why when you want to establish trade partnerships, you need to understand their orientation regarding economic interaction and then you move on to synergize on the basis of that understanding.
