From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A foreign
embassy
is the official office of one
country
in another. It is usually in the
capital city
of the other country. It is where the
ambassador
and other representatives of the home country work. Much of the
diplomacy
(talk) between the two
governments
happens there. They represent their country to the host government. The embassy represents the interests of the entire country and is fully responsible for the relationship between the two countries.
The head of the embassy is usually an ambassador, but can also be a minister, high commissioner, or other level of diplomatic personnel appointed by the sending country to represent it.
