ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Engagement (diplomacy)

Engagement in diplomacy is like trying to make friends with other countries. Just like how you make friends by talking to them, sharing toys, or playing with them, countries also try to make friends with other countries by talking with them and finding things they have in common. Diplomats are like your parents, they help make sure everyone is getting along and happy. They talk to other countries' diplomats to figure out what they can do together to be happy and keep peace. It's important to make friends with others because being friends leads to better communication, trade, and safety for everyone.
