diplomatic missions

Ambassadors' official stations

Diplomatic missions are the official offices and staff that one country establishes in another to handle governmental relations, protect citizens abroad, and promote national interests.

The term covers embassies, consulates, and other permanent representations.

A diplomatic mission operates under international law that grants it special protections, including immunity from the host country's jurisdiction.

The embassy is the primary diplomatic mission in most capital cities.

Several diplomatic missions were closed during the conflict.
