A diplomatic mission or foreign mission is a group of people from a state or organization present in another state to represent the sending state or organization officially in the receiving or host state. In practice, diplomatic missions usually are embassies or high commissions, which are the main offices of countries’ diplomatic representatives to other countries; they are usually, but not necessarily, based in the receiving state’s capital city.
Consulates, on the other hand, are smaller diplomatic missions that are normally located in major cities of the receiving state (but can be located in the capital, typically when the sending country has no embassy in the receiving state). As well as being a diplomatic mission to the country in which it is situated, an embassy may also be a nonresident permanent mission to one or more other countries.
Here are the diplomatic missions of Kenya abroad.
