Embassies and Consulates

Embassies and consulates are official offices of a country located abroad. An embassy is the main representation in the capital city of another country, handling diplomatic relations, political discussions, and major issues like visas or emergencies. Consulates are smaller offices in other cities, focusing on services for citizens (like passport or legal help) and facilitating trade and travel. Both serve to protect their country's interests and assist their nationals abroad, with embassies often acting as the primary diplomatic hub and consulates providing localized support.
