The rules of protocol and their observance are the first line of defence for protecting diplomatic and political relations, because diplomatic relations are a tool for managing political relations, and this tool has had fixed rules set for it that guarantee the achievement of this purpose. However, the link between diplomatic and political relations is sensitive.
