Because of their unique relationship with the host nation, ambassadors are able to help in the development of foreign policy with that nation. All of these actions are meant to protect their home country’s interests within the host nation. Another responsibility of an ambassador is to act as a representative of their country of origin. As a representative, they offer up their home country’s position on many political, social, and economic platforms. They also meet with important political leaders and greet or host other diplomats. Ambassadors also help travellers from their home country, explain foreign policy and evacuate refugees from dangerous situations. Because of the sensitive nature of their careers, ambassadors carry out their duties with a diplomatic demeanour, with the goal of keeping a positive relationship between the country that is hosting them and their home nation.
