Therefore, based on a descriptive-analytical method, we seek to answer this key question that how urban diplomacy and public diplomacy can play a parallel and complementary role in foreign policy. In response it seems that urban diplomacy in a parallel way could have the complementary and effective role on public diplomacy’s function based on the development and improvement of relations between nations and citizens, connection with key people and establishment of strategic relations in foreign policy with an emphasis on the tourism industry and engagement with sister cities and also NGO’s, cultural interactions and expanding values and norms.
