Every country has to build a relationship with other states. A lot of effort goes into creating a foreign policy that works in the best interest of the state. There are so many different factors to consider to make sure none of the neighbors get offended.

There are ambassadors and other officials who have to live in another state for a certain time and put their state’s agenda in action. When governments send their representatives to other states, they don’t just pick them at random. These are the people who have been trained for the job. One part of that training is learning a foreign language.
