What is an Embassy?
An embassy is a very important office that one country sets up in another country. It's called a diplomatic mission. The main job of an embassy is to represent its home country. This means the people who work there, called diplomats, speak for their country.
What Does an Embassy Do?
Embassies do many things. They help citizens from their home country who are visiting or living abroad. For example, if an Estonian citizen loses their passport in London, the embassy can help them get a new one. They also work to make sure their home country and the host country (like the UK) have good relationships. This can involve talking about trade, culture, or even helping with travel.
