Abstract:
The Coronavirus pandemic, which began in late 2019 due to
a new Coronavirus known as "SARS CoV2," has surpassed all
previous pandemics since the 1918 Spanish flu. Aside from high
mortality rates, the pandemic has resulted in economic losses,
and a disruption of all human activities, as a result of closed
borders and the implementation of a quarantine system to limit
virus transmission.At the level of international relations, most
diplomatic meetings and conferences were canceled
necessitating a reliance on digital technologies to reactivate
diplomatic activity and avoid international isolation and its
consequences for countries.
This article aims to investigate the role of digital diplomacy
in mitigating the effects of the pandemic on states. In the same
context, digital diplomacy is viewed as an extension of
traditional diplomacy in light of developments in the field of
information and communication technologies, which present
challenges related to data security and communication
confidentiality, as well as ethical challenges arising from the use
of digital technologies and platforms.
Keywords: Covid-19 pandemic, Diplomacy, Digital
