English Explanation

外交 (がいこう) combines the standard on'yomi がい for 外 (outside) and こう for 交 (associate/exchange). Misreadings like がくこう for 外 or がいこい for 交 are incorrect. It specifically refers to the practice of conducting negotiations and maintaining relations between states, encompassing the entirety of foreign affairs, rather than just isolated negotiations.

日本語解説

外交 (がいこう) は、外の音読み「がい」と交の音読み「こう」を組み合わせた標準的な読みです。「がくこう」や「がいこい」は読み間違い。外交は、国家間の交渉や関係維持のための活動全般を指し、国際関係そのものや個別の交渉とは異なる概念です。
