A diplomatic mission refers to a group of officials from one country who are sent to another country to represent their home government. This group typically includes ambassadors, diplomats, and support staff. Their main responsibilities include promoting their country's interests, negotiating agreements, and maintaining peaceful relations with the host country. Diplomatic missions can take various forms, such as embassies and consulates. An embassy is usually located in the capital city and serves as the main office for diplomatic activities, while a consulate operates in other cities to assist citizens and handle specific issues. Both play crucial roles in international relations and cooperation.
