Abstract

The concept of global health diplomacy was operationally operational for the first time in 1851 when European countries gathered at the first health conference on collaboration and coordination for cholera, plague and fever diseases. Since the country of Iran faces many challenges and issues, especially environmental issues (the phenomenon of repercussions, droughts), economic problems, and numerous regional sanctions and wars, the country of Iran needs to be in a position to face the challenges of the Middle East. Specialist diplomats, along with training courses on communication and health issues, talks, diplomacy skills, and the skills of cultural, economic, and security diplomacy, will bring the greatest benefits from the potential for building diplomatic relations in the health field. .
Given the current status of the strategy of health diplomacy in Iran and the importance of training diplomacy skills for diplomats, the creation of training courses is essential for the future of diplomacy diplomats in the field of diplomacy, Provides appropriate diploma-related negotiations and related sciences.
