Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates … do you know the difference? At the heart of a country’s diplomatic mission abroad, Embassies manage all political, cultural and social relationships between states. There is one in each country where two states have agreed to establish ‘diplomatic relations’ 🤝. The Embassy is where the ambassador works and sometimes lives. In Commonwealth nations, High Commissions take the place of an Embassy. They perform the same functions as Embassies between Commonwealth states. Meanwhile, Consulates are smaller versions of embassies that provide some or even all of the services of an Embassy (or a High Commission). They are usually located in more convenient places such as business or tourism hotspots 🗺 which may be in a different part of the country from the capital city. Unlike Embassies, there can be multiple consulates in one country. Playing such an important role, it is vital that the diplomatic mission abroad is maintained, secured and protected 🔒 – this is where FCDO Services comes in. From secure construction to bespoke physical security systems, our staff ensure that the UK’s Embassies can continue to operate and provide you with the help you need safely and securely. #FCDOServices #DidYouKnow Image description: A side view image of the British Embassy in Berlin with “British Embassy” written next to the British crest.

My latest article has been published in The Diplomat !! I delve into India's complex diplomatic balancing act with the potential extradition of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. If you have a moment, I’d be grateful if you could check it out and share your thoughts!

Khalistani separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of Sikh For Justice (SFJ) has claimed to have shared information about India's "spy network" with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office over the past few years. In a recent interview, Pannun, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, noted these communications amid increasing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, and he has previously threatened terror attacks on Air India flights. Pannun commended Trudeau's statement regarding the alleged involvement of Indian agents in the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Trudeau highlighted Canada's commitment to justice and national security in light of credible accusations and stated that Canada sought cooperation from India during the investigation but received refusals. The situation intensified after Trudeau's claims, leading India to denounce them as "absurd" and "politically motivated." In retaliation, Canada expelled six Indian diplomats connected to the Nijjar case, which prompted India to expel six Canadian diplomats, including high-ranking officials. #AsiaRisk #GeopoliticalConflictandDisputes #India Get a full accounting of the security situation in Asia by subscribing to Security Asia.
