bilateral diplomacy

 
     
  The conduct of diplomatic relations (sense 1) between two states through formally accredited missions, though one or even both of these missions may be physically located in a neighbouring state. In this sense, bilateral diplomacy is identical to ‘traditional diplomacy’, and has a strong emphasis on written communications. The principle of reciprocity has a powerful influence on the conduct of bilateral diplomacy and, at least in more recent times, has generated considerable pressure for equivalent levels of representation in each state. See also diplomatic representation; multiple accreditation.


Any form of direct diplomatic contact between two states beyond the formal confines of a multilateral conference, including contacts in the wings of such gatherings when the subject of discussion is different from that of the conference and only of concern to the two states themselves.
