“…Economic diplomacy operates on two distinct levels: macroeconomic diplomacy, involving negotiations between multiple states, and microeconomic diplomacy, where the state plays a supportive role for firms, often within highly competitive contexts. In essence, it represents a form of diplomacy that deploys a broad spectrum of economic and political tools to achieve specific national economic goals, particularly on an international scale (Sousa, 2019).…”

Diplomacy Investment has been the superlative source of extrinsic finance for developing country. Economic diplomacy is concerned with conducting international business. The general objective of this study was to assess the diplomacy and investment through Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Specifically, the study focused on to examine the effect of the public diplomacy on investment, to establish the effect of economic diplomacy on investment, and to determine the effect of science diplomacy on investment through Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used in the design of the descriptive study. Information gathered by use of questionnaire. Eighty-one respondents working for the Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Ministry were polled. Since the research used a census-based approach, the whole population served as the sample. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26.0 was used to conduct descriptive statistics on the given data. We also utilized inferential statistics to demonstrate the interdependence of the variables. The outcomes are visually represented by tables with frequency distributions, means, and standard deviations. According to research commissioned by the MINAFFET, there is a statistically significant relationship between public diplomacy (p=0.000 less than 0.05), economic diplomacy (p=0.00 less than 0.05), and science diplomacy (p=0.001 less than 0.05) and investment. An R value of.921, a R square value of 0.848, and an adjusted R square value of 0.842 were discovered. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation channels 84.80% of its investment via science diplomacy, economic diplomacy, and public diplomacy. The significant level from the analysis of variance was 0.000 which is less than 0.05, and the corresponding result was F=128.449. This means that the Science Diplomacy, Economic Diplomacy, and Public Diplomacy programs run by the MINAFFET have an influence on investment, as hypothesized by the study's author. The MINAFFET should prioritize and

“…As argued by Ruël, Lee, and Visser (2013), commercial diplomacy lies at the heart of the intersection of international relations and international business, combining the functions and interests of both government and business (Naray and Bezençon 2017). In organizational terms, it encompasses the activities developed by diplomatic missions, in connection with other public entities, toward (mainly private) national economical and financial interests (Lee 2004;Sousa 2019).…”

“…Focused on the business dimension, there was an expectation of an increased dissemination of information and the provision of a set of tools fostering firms' internationalization. In sum, an economic foreign policy organizing external economic activities, not only with internal economic objectives, but also expected to improve Portugal's external image (Sousa 2019). Accordingly, the Portuguese authorities created an institutional framework to promote the Portuguese brand and generate events and business missions in the search for new markets.…”

This article studies whether export supporting activities developed by Portuguese diplomatic representations in the last decade have had any impact on Portugal's international trade. It used data for 187 destination countries, for the period of 2008 to 2017, controlling for other determinants of trade through a gravity model. Complementing the econometric analysis of the macro data, a survey was applied to 238 Portuguese exporting firms. The results imply a less relevant role for embassies and consulates in export promotion and facilitation. These results highlight the necessity to change the way that national diplomatic representations interact with exporting firms, in particular SMEs.
