The present day world is more or less organized on a nation-state system. Inother words, the surface of the earth is divided into many units, each politically self-government sovereign state having a political, economic, sociological and geographical system and ‘composed more or less of divergent racial and cultural strains.’ The varying socio-economic system gives rise to different political systems, each having foreign policy of its own in the matter of dealing with other states. The department dealing with the foreign policy of state or country is known as the department of International affairs of Foreign Affairs. It is this department which deals with the international affairs of a nation in relation to the other states or nations or countries, and ascertain the responsibilities, obligations, interest of that particular nation in the international field protecting simultaneously, among others, the national interests, sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, embodied in the policy of the nation through diplomacy.
