permanent representative

The head of a permanent mission (sense 1). Although such officials are almost invariably given the personal title and status of ambassador, and are so spoken of, formally speaking they are not ambassadors to the international organization in question, as an ambassador is traditionally the representative of one head of state to another. See also permanent delegate.
