Lead
It may sound like a very mundane thing, but every time we hear the news that the leader of one country has a phone call with the leader of another country, there is actually something very large behind the scenes that supports the completion of these calls.
China's rise and growing tensions in international relations have also made domestic and international ties increasingly important, as well as increasingly busy on the international front and diplomatically, which has complicated how to conduct a diplomatic call.
The importance of diplomatic calls.
An international call was actually called a "hotline" in the diplomatic field, and the establishment of the "hotline" was actually established to communicate with John · Kennedy and Khrushchev, two countries in the Cold War at that time.
This "hotline" opened a channel for the two countries with tense relations at the time, and also made people around the world feel that diplomatic exchanges between major powers can be so frequent.
But we can't ignore its importance by calling it mundane, even if every diplomatic call is a big project for diplomats.
The first procedure is for diplomats to contact each other, and then they have to wait for each other's reply, and then they have to carry out a series of docking work, and there will be a lot of procedures in these tasks that need to be very strict and important.
To that end, a diplomat will be dispatched to carry out the specific planning of the call, as well as the related monitoring and coordination, which will be dealt with without discrepancies.
And these are not included in the call, after the two parties need to agree, the content of the call must be reviewed accurately, and then publicly released.
The process is very complicated and complex.
So how did the phone calls between leaders come about?
There are too many diplomats, right?
Diplomats are also very careful when making phone calls between the leaders of the two countries, making a list of the time it takes to make a call, the time it takes to review and organize documents, and so on, and then find a time to call from the list.
This time is not only found from the time difference, but also according to the habits of the leaders and other factors to consider the final time.
But the time for this call is not so convenient, if the call is received in the early hours of the morning, then what diplomats need to work all night to supervise the process of the call.
There is also a more urgent thing to do after the time and work arrangements are made, which is to hand in the relevant documents for review and sorting, and there will be a buffer time after these are completed.
But this buffer time is not likely to be used for sleep, after all, it is necessary to be ready to call at any time, but this time will make diplomats less nervous.
The work in this time is also very difficult, because the national documents are very messy, and the diplomats have to connect all the information together when they are compiling the documents, and they also have to express the information in a way that is easy to export.
In fact, at this time, it is necessary to have a very literate and diplomatic person to take on this role.
But the end of the final call was not a time for diplomats to breathe a sigh of relief, after all, there was still a lot of work to be done after the end.
= Precautions in phone calls.
An international call is very complicated and involves some secret information from the state, so there are many aspects to pay attention to when calling.
1. First of all, the call itself, diplomats should not let down their vigilance by not broadcasting the call because it is a leader's call.
This will not only be unacceptable to the personnel of the diplomatic organs, but will also bring a very great sense of distrust to the relations between the two countries, and is very likely to bring about a lot of negative effects in all aspects of the country and the world.
2. In the process of the call, the call must be kept clear, and there should be no mistakes in the details, which are not accepted by people.
In addition, if possible, it is better to have a real-time communication between the two countries, rather than reciting a document.
Fun facts on the call.
1. Kicked out.
During a call at the United Nations, it was very late for the leader of a country, but before he ended the call, he was talking and talking, his eyes still on the person next to him.
At this time, the interpreter thought he was talking to himself, so he kicked himself out of the workshop where he was talking.
2. Don't wait.
On one occasion, the leader of a country waited very late, first for a few minutes, then for more than ten minutes, and finally for nearly an hour.
This made him very angry, so he retaliated according to the translator's phone number.
Fortunately, the final result of the call was very good, and on the other end of the phone, the leaders of the two countries were waiting for the call to happen.
3. The brain exploded.
On one occasion the two leaders had a phone call, and when the call began, the diplomat did not understand for the first few seconds, and by the time he did, the call was over, allowing his brain to fight.
But on the other end of the call, the leader didn't listen to what they were saying, so he asked the translator, who said that the problem was easy to solve, because the translator was distracted all the time.
epilogue
Although the phone call between the leaders of the two countries may seem very ordinary, it is absolutely impossible to ignore its importance, as well as the dedication and diplomacy behind it.
But I still hope that when you hear this interesting anecdote, you can read it with a smile, and everyone is equal.
