If all goes well, diplomatic relations might be established. If not, well... This trope is an important part of How to Invade An Alien Planet. Examples of I Come in Peace include:

If a character uses the specific phrase, it can overlap with I Always Wanted to Say That. Of course, this can be subverted, with a visitor indicating peaceful intentions just before slaughtering the Puny Humans. Or the peaceful party getting mauled by the non-peaceful party. Or a suspicious member of one group or the other might still be convinced that the visitors are dangerous. Or whatever. We Come in Peace, Shoot to Kill is another name for aversions of this trope. Compare Take Me to Your Leader. If the characters start out with numbers instead of language, it's First Contact Math. This trope is an important part of How to Invade An Alien Planet.
