En principe, les affaires politiques sont confiées à l'ambassadeur, ce dernier étant assisté éventuellement d'un ou de plusieurs diplomates au sens traditionnel du terme. Les membres politiques de l'équipe proviennent normalement du ministère des Affaires étrangères. Leurs titres correspondent généralement à leur grade dans la hiérarchie administrative, et, selon une pratique très ancienne, sont assez uniformes d'un pays à l'autre : conseiller, secrétaire (1er, 2e et 3e), attaché. Cependant, le premier collaborateur a, dans les plus grandes ambassades, un titre plus élevé : il est alors ministre-conseiller, ou ministre. 1, record 3, French, - troisi%C3%A8me%20secr%C3%A9taire
