The advent of the Metaverse has presented novel opportunities for diplomatic institutions to redefine their public diplomacy strategies. This academic overview examines the use of social media influence within the Metaverse by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Multi-Factor Authentication to enhance their operations, particularly in the realms of their embassies and consulates worldwide. It explores the theoretical framework of public diplomacy in the digital age, the emergence of this technology, and the potential benefits and challenges associated with its adoption in the foreign service. The study explores security previsions and protocols which ought to be included to illustrate the safety mechanisms within the architecture of such both technological and revolutionary implementation of MFA frameworks prior to being applied to sensitive areas within a government's overseas missions' diplomatic apparatus. The study draws upon existing research to discuss how social media influencers can be leveraged to communicate national interests, foster cultural understanding, and facilitate virtual diplomatic engagements. It concludes by suggesting potential avenues for future research to evaluate the effectiveness and implications of these innovative practices, forward planning, therefore, retaining the security provisions already mentioned, in regard to highly sensitised information within a country's foreign affairs ministry. In recommendation, this research has determined that the Metaverse and its future development would be of benefit and play great importance within Mongolia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' infrastructure in years to come.
