The article examines into the contemporary theories and concepts surrounding the current landscape of digital diplomacy on both global and national scales. It explores the role of digital diplomacy in shaping the foreign policies of nations, with a specific focus on Ukraine's efforts in promoting and addressing international issues. The authors defines modern theoretical foundations of digital diplomacy, and disloses categorial discourse of digital diplomacy within terms of web-diplomacy, twiplomacy and others. The novelty of this work lies in the interpretation of digital diplomacy as a tool for supporting social and economic recovery, and the characterization of social media as a tool for digital diplomacy in the context of geopolitical challenges and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors set logical coherence between digital diplomacy and environmental diplomacy. Effective digital diplomacy relies on top-notch information and analytical efforts, demanding well-coordinated actions fueled by significantly enhanced information support and rigorous analytical processing. This approach is pivotal for advancing global challenges and achieving SDG. The contemporary information and communication infrastructure empowers diplomatic strategies to pivot towards climate objectives. Proposals are made to improve the system of digital diplomacy as a new paradigm of international relations, the level, possibilities and feasibility of implementing the use of digital diplomacy tools in Ukraine are determined. Authors substantiate the idea, that evolution of digital diplomacy encompasses critical areas such as advocating for climate-centric practices, bolstering digital inclusion and accessibility, resolving conflicts, advancing digital government and transparency, delivering diplomacy through digital channels, and driving cross-border humanitarian endeavors alongside sustainable infrastructure development.

After learning that Japan had developed and made marvelous progress because of education development, the then reformist Rana Prime Minister Dev Shumsher decided to send eight Nepalese students with the spirit of "Let's learn from the East". Later, the students sent to Japan during the Chandra Shumsher era became beneficial and effective not only for the transfer of knowledge, skills, and technologies; it has also helped to bud the relationship between Nepal and Japan. Later the diplomatic relation was established on September 1, 1965. Furthermore, the relationship between both nations has been strengthening through high-level exchange visits, people-to-people relationships, and development diplomacy. Japan has been helping Nepal in key sectors such as human resource development, health, agriculture development, infrastructure development, environment protection, culture, etc. through grants, loans and technical support This has made a great contribution to the socioeconomic development of Nepal. Nepal and Japan's relationship is without any problems since the establishment of the relation between the two countries and put similar views on the international agenda in the United Nations (UN) and international platform based on the principles of peaceful coexistence, sovereign equality of the states, and non-alignment. In this context, this paper tries to advocate for the promotion and integration of science diplomacy to deepen ties between Nepal and Japan in the era of science and technology so that more long-term benefits could be achieved from Japan for the sustainable development of Nepal.
