。The duties of the embassy cover all areas of the country, and the consulate is only responsible for the areas under its jurisdiction.
The embassy is usually under the direct leadership of the government and the foreign ministry, while the consulate is usually under the dual leadership of the foreign ministry and the Embassy of the host country.
Many countries have only embassies and no consulates in most countries.
Whether or not a consulate is established depends mainly on the number of overseas Chinese and consular services and the importance of the area in which they are located, and they are carried out in accordance with the principle of reciprocity.
For example, China has embassies and five Consulates-General in the United States, which are responsible for the consular affairs within their respective jurisdictions.
In inpidual small countries, only consulates and consular officers are stationed in foreign countries.
Embassies are permanent diplomatic missions stationed in the capital of diplomatic countries.
The embassy represents the interests of the whole country and is fully responsible for the relations between the two countries. The head of the embassy is usually an ambassador.
It may also be a minister or other level of diplomat appointed by the sending country, who is appointed by the head of state and performs his duties as a representative of the head of state.
The first duty of the embassy is to represent the sending country and promote the political relations between the two countries. The second duty is to promote the economic, cultural, educational, scientific and technological, military and other relations. The embassy has consular functions at the same time.
Promoting bilateral relations and people-to-people exchanges is an important duty of the consulate, but its main duty is consular work.
For example, to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of their citizens in foreign countries, to issue or extend passports to their citizens, and to issue visas to foreign citizens.
