By establishing political diplomacy, economic diplomacy, and public diplomacy as the three pillars of its diplomacy, South Korea has endeavored to enhance its international image and credibility, deepen foreign nationals' understanding of South Korea's foreign policy, and expand its soft power across the international community.
