Easing of diplomatic tensions, also known as detente (7 letters), is a term used to describe the relaxation of strained relations between two or more countries. It is often achieved through diplomatic negotiations and agreements, such as treaties, which can lead to increased cooperation and understanding between the nations involved. Detente can also refer to the reduction of military forces and arms control agreements. In the modern world, detente is seen as an important step in preventing international conflict and promoting peace.
