AI overview
A consul is a government official who represents their country in a foreign city, typically handling matters like helping citizens abroad and promoting trade and culture. This role matters because consuls serve as the primary point of contact between two countries at the local level, making them important for everyday diplomatic work and protecting citizens living or traveling overseas.
