Foreign missions refer to the activities conducted by a country or organization to promote its interests abroad. These missions can include diplomatic efforts, humanitarian aid, and cultural exchanges. They often involve embassies and consulates, which serve as official representatives of a nation in another country. These missions aim to strengthen international relations, provide assistance during crises, and foster mutual understanding between different cultures. Organizations like the United Nations and various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) also engage in foreign missions to address global issues such as poverty, health, and education.
