The former President of the United States, Barack Obama, holding a koala in his arms during a photo session organized by the Australian Government for visiting heads of state at the G20 Summit in 2014 in Brisbane. The event, widely covered globally, drew attention to Australia's "koala diplomacy."[1][2][3][4][5]
Animal diplomacy refers to the use of living animals by governments in their international relations. Attested since antiquity, this diplomacy traditionally took the form of exotic animals (lions, elephants, giraffes, etc.) or domestic animals (horses, dogs, birds of prey) offered as gifts between heads of state. From the 20th century onwards, it has been increasingly perceived as a form of soft power and has been integrated by some states into their public diplomacy strategies; the most famous example being panda diplomacy practiced by China.
