Record 1 2006-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diplomacy
DEF

The office where the chief of mission and his staff work.

OBS

This office is often called the embassy but this is a misnomer. Technically, the embassy is where the ambassador lives, not where he works, although in earlier times when diplomatic missions were smaller, this was usually the same building. Today, for clarity's sake, many diplomats now distinguish between the two by using the terms "embassy residence" and "embassy office".
