The rising interest in digital diplomacy reflects the importance of digitalisation for the future of nations worldwide. Countries seek to shape their destiny as technology affects every aspect of our lives, from war and peace, lifestyle and work, to our very survival. The COVID-19 crisis has vividly demonstrated the critical relevance of digital infrastructure for modern society.
