'Nowruz diplomacy' a ground for regional convergence

Diplomacy is the most important arena in international relations to determine the fate of a country's war and peace. For this reason, it is obvious that all countries are using every capacity to promote diplomacy and their position in the international system.

Cultural diplomacy is an effective process in which the culture of a nation is presented to the outside world and the unique cultural characteristics of nations are promoted at bilateral and multilateral levels.

The influence of culture in the field of foreign policy is such that in the current era, culture is discussed as a soft power in foreign policy, which is called cultural diplomacy and means the use of cultural tools and mechanisms to introduce and transfer the culture and civilization of land to other lands.

The promotion of national interests through the use of cultural tools may not replace other tools, such as political, economic, and military tools, but it can complement them.
