Personal opinion albeit from some experience. It is difficult to apply international relations without other language skills. Pick one but as any multilingual, multicultural person can tell you, it is the translation that is all important. With some language skills you can better learn the culture which can only come from experience/immersion. Smiling, bowing, shaking hands are greetings; not relations.
