The history of human relations confirms the fact that for many hundreds of years people have been building diplomatic relations between states. The embassy is the guarantor of peace and friendly interaction. It is it that represents this or that country on foreign territory. To play the role of an ambassador has always been considered an honorable and difficult mission, because it depends on him in many respects how relations with the state in which this embassy is located will be built.
What is an embassy?
So what is an embassy? This is a diplomatic mission of the accrediting state, located on the territory of stay to maintain diplomatic relations at the highest level between countries. The representative office is headed by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. The High Commissioner is the authorized representative.
Ambassador is a very honorary title. It can only be a good leader, an excellent manager, a negotiator confident in his rightness, who should be valued and respected by the representatives of the country. The ambassador must not only coordinate the functionsembassies abroad, but also be responsible for the actions of other organizations of the country he represents.
Where do our diplomats work?
Professional diplomats operate under the leadership of the ambassador. They monitor the situation in the host country and report on the situation, which allows them to respond quickly and clearly to various requirements. There are several types of diplomats.
Economic officers - their work includes direct contact with foreign governments, various environmental protection funds, as well as funds of various organizations that cooperate with the host state. Also, economic diplomats are negotiating with the opposite side on the adoption of new laws on trade.
Administration representatives - this category of diplomats is responsible for all embassies and consulates. Diplomatic functions are superimposed on them, providing people with access to the resources they need.
Political officials. This category of diplomats should always be aware of all political changes and events that are taking place in the country, which should be constantly reported to the ambassador. Officials at the state level build understanding, support the policies of their country, while resorting to public resources.

The difference between a consulate and an embassy. Visa
An embassy is a representation that has the highest level. In turn, the Consulate General or Consulate stands at a lower level of diplomatic representation. The office is located outside the capital. For example, the French consulate in India is located in Mumbai, while the embassy itself is in New Delhi. The head of the consulate is always the Consul General. If there are several consulates in the country, then they are headed by the Honorary Consul.
If you need a visa to travel to a state where a visa regime is provided, where to apply - to the consulate or embassy? A visa can be issued both at the consulate and at the embassy in the visa section. But it is worth noting that the embassy primarily deals with political issues. The consulate solves the problems of citizens, is engaged in paperwork (passports, visas, certificates), contacts with local authorities. For those areas where visas are most in demand, special visa centers are being created, which is convenient during the high season of tourist trips.

The consulates and embassies of some countries allow processing documents through the visa centers, while others do not allow this and require a personal visit to both submit documents and for an interview. The countries of the Schengen agreement allow issuing several visas to different countries at once in one embassy as part of the representation.

Relations between Russia and the US certainly leave much to be desired. Recently, the US government has been putting forward multiple sanctions against our country. However, the wise political decisions of our government make it possible to peacefully regulate and smooth out the emerging conflicts. Russia correctly points to the need to observe the principles of mutual respect, equal relations, as well as non-interference in internal political situations. Work and interaction with the United States continues in those areas where these principles are observed, and the tasks of solving international security are supported.
