EMBASSY

Diplomatic representation of a country's government in another country is what the embassy does.

1. It transmits messages of its home government to the government of the host country and vice versa.

2. It informs its home government about important political, social, economical, military and other events happening in the host country.

3. It prepares international treaties and official state visits.

4. It promotes its own home culture, economy and science in the host country.

5. The military attaché is responsible for contacts between the two armed forces and for arms business

6. Many embassies (but not all of them) have a consular section exercising the functions of a consulate (see the green column on the right side).
