With evolving global relationships, embassies and consulates play a major role in strengthening ties between any two countries.
An embassy is the representative of a particular country in a foreign country. Working under a diplomatic mission, the embassy aims at achieving certain goals in the host country. The following are important functions of an embassy:
- Protect its citizens and the interest of its country
- Support prosperity
- Arrange socialising events
- Work for educational scholarships
- Maintain development and cooperation between two states
- Help to maintain political, social, and economic ties
- Provide visa and passport renewal facilities
Pakistan has developed key relationships with all the countries of the world except Israel. For that reason, Pakistan hosts several ambassadors and consulate generals from all over the world. Embassies are located in Islamabad; however, consulate generals are also present in the major cities of Pakistan, such as Karachi and Lahore.
