courtesy call |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A visit made as a matter of courtesy by a newly arrived head of mission to the foreign minister of the receiving state and, very possibly, to the head of government (where he or she is not also head of state). Such calls may also be made to other important personages in the capital city (e.g. the mayor), and sometimes in federal states to such personages in the provincial capitals. Courtesy calls are also customarily made on other heads of mission. In capitals with a very large diplomatic corps it may as a practical matter not be possible to visit all of them, though the expectation that all should receive a call remains high and those overlooked may well harbour an enduring resentment against the new head of mission. |
