Diplomatic relations are classified according to diplomatic levels.
1, ambassadorial level: formal diplomatic relations, and the heads of state of the two sides exchange ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary for short. Ambassadors are the first level of diplomatic envoys, and have the right to ask the head of state of the host country to receive them, negotiate with senior officials of the host country, and enjoy complete diplomatic privileges and immunities. Appointment requires the prior consent of the host country. In modern diplomatic practice, it is a common practice for countries to exchange diplomatic representatives at ambassadorial level.
2. Ministerial level: formal diplomatic relations, and the heads of state of the two sides exchange ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary, referred to as ministers. As the second rank of diplomatic envoy, the minister is second only to the ambassador in courtesy, but his substantive status, duties, diplomatic privileges and immunities are the same as those of the ambassador, and his appointment requires the prior consent of the host country.
After World War II, there were fewer and fewer diplomatic representatives at the rank of Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, and most countries upgraded their ministers to ambassadors. At present, most of the foreign missions of various countries have ministerial titles, but they are different from the ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary: the ministers in embassies are the first-class diplomatic officials in diplomatic representative institutions after ambassadors in protocol order, and the appointment does not require the prior consent of the host country.
3. Agency level: semi-diplomatic relations, and the foreign ministers of the two sides exchange diplomatic envoys at the agency level. The charge d 'affaires is the lowest diplomatic representative, receiving less courtesy than ambassadors and ministers, but enjoying the same diplomatic privileges and immunities as ambassadors and ministers. Agency can only handle the most basic diplomatic affairs and provide necessary diplomatic services and consular protection for expatriates.
In addition to the above-mentioned diplomatic level, there is informal diplomacy in diplomatic relations: it means that the two countries have not formally established diplomatic relations, and they directly conduct diplomatic negotiations and set up some kind of liaison agency to keep in touch.
