A diplomatic mission <span>s a group of people from one </span>state<span> or an international </span>inter-governmental organisation<span> (such as the </span>United Nations<span>) present in another state to represent the sending state/organisation officially in the receiving state. In practice, a </span>diplomatic<span> mission usually denotes the </span>resident mission<span>, namely the office of a country's diplomatic representatives in the </span>capital<span> city of another country. As well as being a diplomatic mission to the country in which it is situated, it may also be a non-resident permanent mission to one or more other countries. There are thus resident and non-resident embassies
