Som det allerede korrekt er blevet påpeget, sker dette ikke altid offentligt, for det giver ikke altid den ønskede virkning - undertiden er stille diplomati bedre - men det sker, og det sker regelmæssigt.
As has already been correctly pointed out, this does not always take place in public, because that does not always produce the desired effect – sometimes silent diplomacy is better – but it does take place, and regularly.
