An embassy is a diplomatic mission located in a foreign country. It represents the government of the home country and serves as a place for diplomatic discussions, negotiations, and support for citizens abroad. Embassies help maintain relationships between countries and promote cooperation on various issues. Embassies are staffed by diplomats, including an ambassador, who is the highest-ranking official. They provide services such as visa applications, legal assistance, and emergency support for citizens. Each embassy operates under international law and is considered the territory of the home country, offering protection to its staff and visitors.
