The Diplomatic Corps is comprised of and serviced by people from various professional orientations. On the International scene, the ambassador is perhaps the most well known of the Diplomatic Corps since that individual is accredited to represent the interests, cultures, ideals, and hopes of an entire country.

The Ambassador is designated the title of His/Her Excellency Ambassador Extra ordinary and Plenipotentiary and is usually the Head of the country’s delegation abroad. As Head of Delegation, this individual is usually supported by a host of other diplomatic and non-diplomatic staff.
