Diplomatic protocol has a rich history, its own peculiarities and traditions, but its primary basis remains in the deep respect for a high-ranking foreign guest, for the state and the people they represent. The rules and norms of the diplomatic protocol formed up to our time regulate almost all forms of foreign policy and international economic cooperation. One of the organic components of diplomatic protocol is diplomatic etiquette.
Viktoria Burmitska and Anastasia Plavaiko, master's students, say that knowledge of the protocol is necessary not only for diplomats, but also for every civil servant who deals with issues of international economic cooperation - moreover - for every businessman who wants to successfully cooperate with his foreign partners. Competent command of the rules and norms of modern diplomatic and business protocol increases the prestige not only of the diplomatic or economic department, but also of the state.
