The Iranians have shot down drones. They tried to destroy the Saudi oil fields. They tried to storm our embassy. So, when my Democratic friends say we need appeasement, well appeasement hasn't worked. And I think that we've learned, with respect to Iran, that weakness invites the wolves.

I have always encouraged open and frank discussion among embassy employees and the expression of dissenting views, because this is the best way to maintain morale among embassy personnel and to arrive at sensible decisions which are in the best interests of the United States.

American Diplomat

Meghan Markle

I never thought I would become an actress. I always wanted to get into politics, and I moved to Argentina and worked for the U.S. embassy for a bit. It sort of happened upon me when I was home for the holiday - acting, that is - and I stuck with it.

Diplomacy in a sense is the opposite of writing. You have to disperse yourself so much: the lady who comes in crying because she's had a fight with the secretary; exports and imports; students in trouble; thumbtacks for the embassy.

When we had concerts in the U.S., I used to be able to just go, but now I have to stop by the embassy and do an interview to get a visa.

Thaksin Shinawatra

Palestine is not a country, so there should be no embassy here.

Brazilian Politician

Refers to the building where ambassadors work. It's different from a consulate, which may handle visas.

Physical Location

'Embassy' often implies a piece of home country on foreign soil and may host national events.

Cultural Significance

Embassies are secure and formal; one cannot enter as freely as other public places.

Not a Commonplace

Embassy includes a team working on diplomacy, not just the head ambassador.

Not Just the Ambassador

It serves as the home country's political representation and manages relations.

Political Representation

There's a hierarchy within the staff, with specific roles and diplomatic ranks.

Internal Hierarchy

Contact for help if in trouble abroad; they provide support to their citizens.

Emergency Assistance

Embassies also promote cultural exchange and understanding between countries.
