Twitter diplomacy

Twitter diplomacy, or Twiplomacy, is a form of digital diplomacy, refers to the practice of conducting public diplomacy using the X (formerly Twitter) platform by heads of state and diplomats, as well as leaders of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs).

Public officials use X for a wide range of diplomatic communication. This includes, but is not limited to, making official announcements, sharing foreign policy updates, and communicating directly with the public. As Constance Duncombe (University of Copenhagen) points out, X does not simply provide yet another platform for dialogue between states but "challenges traditional notions of diplomacy according to which it occurs through formal channels of communication and informal face-to-face social engagements."
