Abstract
Public diplomacy has recently come to the fore as a field that gains importance in international relations. Defined particularly as ‘soft diplomacy’, public diplomacy does not only describe the relations among nations but also plays an extremely pivotal role in the promotion of sociocultural structures of the countries in the current stage. In this manner, several countries establish relevant institutions and agencies relating to public diplomacy. Public diplomacy is accordingly becoming an indispensable area in foreign affairs. This being the case, the interplay and interaction between public diplomacy and interpreting which bears the utmost importance in international relations have mostly been neglected. Therefore, this study aims at studying the contributions of interpreting to public diplomacy under the light of the interpretive theory of translation (theory of sense or théorie du sens).
