In the profession of public relations, experience and understanding in international affairs has now become increasingly significant. Public relation practitioners will have to alter the way they work because it is rather different working with colleagues or clients other than their own as multiple languages may have to be translated after a creation of a campaign material and practitioners may have to travel to other countries to conduct public relations work.
