                                      government diplomacy. On the other hand, governments also actively expand and
                                      participation of non-governmental diplomatic activities and continuously promote

                                      talent on the “leisure diplomacy”. Over the years, Sanya’s excellent quality resources
                                      and environment get the recognition of many diplomats who attended Boao Forum
                                      for Asia and a series of foreign affairs activities held in Sanya.

                                      Sanya where is in a special status of the field of international politics. Therefore, it is
                                      necessary to establish public diplomacy research institution in order to adapt to the
