In many embassies there is no minister, and the counselor is the number two man, i.e., the deputy chief of mission. (In a very small embassy, the second man may not have this rank.) In a large embassy, the second ranking officer may be a minister, or minister-counselor, in which case the heads of the more important sections have counselor rank. Thus, for example, the embassy's political counselor, economic counselor, and administrative counselor are well-known and much-respected positions in diplomatic life. 1, record 3, English, - counsellor%20of%20embassy
