Consular and Trade Offices Consular and Trade Offices Governments from throughout the world have consular offices and trade representation in greater Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah. Consular offices are established by foreign governments 1) to officially develop economic, commercial, scientific and cultural relations between the country they represent and the area in which they serve, and 2) to safeguard the interests of the sending country and its citizens traveling or residing in their consular district. Traditionally these duties include issuing and renewing passports and other official documents, helping travelers in distress, signing death certificates, legalizing or delivering official documents, and assisting travelers in trouble with local law enforcement or immigration authorities. Large consular offices often support cultural affairs and/or trade and investment, as well. Seventy countries are represented in Georgia, with twenty-five career consulates, forty-eight honorary consular offices and more than one dozen dedicated trade and investment agencies. Career officials are members of their country’s foreign (diplomatic) or commercial service, while honorary officials are local residents appointed by foreign governments to perform consular duties. The Dean of the Consular Corps, currently Mr. Steve Brereton, Consul General of Canada, is traditionally the career official with the longest tenure. More than a dozen foreign governments have independent operations in Atlanta with a mission to promote trade and/or investment between their countries or regions and Georgia and the Southeast U.S. ALBANIA Honorary Consulate General of the Republic of Austrian Trade Commission Southern Region Office Albania 3333 Riverwood Parkway, Southeast, Suite 200 310 Somerplane Pl, Atlanta, Georgia 30339 Avondale Estates, GA 30002 Phone: (678) 401-2870 Phone: (404) 299-6803 Web: www.advantageaustria.org Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Ambassador Theodore R.

Contact: [email protected] American First Ladies as Goodwill Ambassadors: Summaries after studying materials available in Presidential Libraries By Wendy Tan Head of Cataloging, Hunter College Libraries, the City University of NY 695 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10065 Abstract Quite a few First Ladies took very active moves regarding international interests, and they often weighed in their opinions on their husbands’ decisions on related issues. My research was mainly conducted in five Presidential Libraries associated with five well-traveled First Ladies. After studying hundreds of journeys they made, my descriptions were focused on five, one for each lady, of them only. All of these trips shared a common trait, which was under the calling of humanitarian cause. Key Words American First Ladies; Goodwill Ambassadors; American Women 2 Introduction According to Gallup’s poll (2001) for the category of “most admired women”, 1948-1961 was Eleanor Roosevelt; 1962-1966 Jacqueline Kennedy; 1971-1973 Pat Nixon; 1977-1980 Rosalynn Carter; 1993-2000 Hillary Clinton. One of the qualifications shared by all these winners is that they were the First Ladies during much of those periods. Another characteristic present among these First Ladies is that they actively participated in activities taking place in foreign lands.

  • Vienna, the Spanish Ambassador and the Nuncio: the 3Rd Marquis of Aytona and the Fading Catholic Alliance (1624–1629)
    113 Rubén GONZÁLEZ CUERVA Vienna, the Spanish Ambassador and the Nuncio: The 3rd Marquis of Aytona and the Fading Catholic Alliance (1624–1629) Abstract: The papacy and the Spanish Monarchy were, by the decade of 1620, the most global powers in Europe and their dynastic and confessional priorities led to changing clashes and alliances around the world. Local contexts were decisive: in Rome, the creation of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide challenged Spanish control over missionaries beyond Europe, while in Madrid the royal favourite Olivares attempted to establish a major Catholic alliance with France and the papacy against the Protestants. In Vienna, the conflict between papal and Spanish diplomats was hard to dissimulate after 1623. The arrival of a new ambassador –the 3rd Marquis of Aytona– supposedly closer to the papacy, should reverse this situation. This article explores the causes of the distancing between two intrinsic allies. It examines their competing tactics of negotiation and communicative devices to voice their positions at the Imperial court, especially in the polarizing context of the War of the Mantuan Succession. Keywords: House of Austria – diplomacy – papacy – Thirty Years’ War he Imperial court constituted one of the most complex centres of power in early modern Europe due to its overlapping of roles and functions. Vienna in 1618 was firstly the seat of the Holy Roman Emperor, theoretic head of the Christian princes Tbut member of a secondary branch of the powerful Habsburg dynasty. Secondly, it was the centre of a disaggregated Habsburg Monarchy including the kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia and the archduchies of Austria.

  • Notification of Honorary Consular Officers
    The Secretary of State presents his compliments to Their Excellencies and Messieurs and Mesdames the Chiefs of Mission and has the honor to refer to the establishment and maintenance of consular posts headed by honorary consular officers. The United States Government appreciates that honorary consular officers provide important services both to the governments which they represent and to United States citizens and entities. Nevertheless, for reasons previously communicated to the missions, United States Government policy requires that the maintenance and establishment of consular posts headed by honorary consular officers must be supported by documentation which makes it possible for the Department of State to be assured that meaningful consular functions will be exercised by honorary consular officers on a regular basis and that such consular officers come under the supervision of, and are accountable to, the governments which they represent. The Secretary informs the Chiefs of Mission that requests for the opening or maintenance of honorary consular posts should include a completed form DS-2005, - 2 - "Notification of Appointment of Honorary Consular Officer," and curriculum vitae (if available) for the applicant as well as all information requested in enclosure A of this note. These materials should be submitted to the Office of Protocol, State Annex-33, 3507 International Place, N.W., Washington D.C. 20008-3034. Upon approval, the Department will issue a letter advising the embassy of its agreement to the opening or maintenance of the post and confirming that the honorary consular officer has been recognized. The Department will not prepare an additional response to any letters or diplomatic notes accompanying such requests.

  • Chapter 8: Honorary Consular Officers
    Guidelines for the Diplomatic and Consular Corps 2019 8. Honorary Consular Officers 8.1 Establishment of Consular Posts Headed by Honorary Consuls The establishment of a Consular Post in New Zealand requires the New Zealand Government’s prior consent and its approval of the location, classification and consular district, in accordance with Articles 4 and 68 of the VCCR. This includes Consular Posts that are to be headed by an Honorary Consular officer. Any proposal to establish a consular post headed by an Honorary Consul should be supported by an explanation of the scope and volume of consular services to be provided by the post. The New Zealand Government will accept the appointment of Honorary Consuls if it is confident there is a need for the services to be provided by such officers. Since 2017, the New Zealand Government has no longer accepted appointments with the title ‘Honorary Consul-General’, nor the promotion of ‘Honorary Consul’ to ‘Honorary Consul-General’. Those officers who currently hold the title of Honorary Consul-General may maintain their title until the end of their tenure. From August 2018, the New Zealand Government will no longer accept appointments as ‘Honorary Vice-Consuls’. Those staff members who currently hold the title of Honorary Vice-Consul may maintain their title until the end of their tenure. The practice in New Zealand is for all Consular Posts to be classified as such, without the term ‘Honorary’ being used (as against the use of ‘Honorary’ attached to the individual who may head such a post). However, the New Zealand Government expects Honorary Consuls to use the correct personal title (use of “Honorary”) to distinguish themselves from career consuls.
