Wikipedia

  1. consular

    A consul is an official representative of the government of one state in the territory of another, normally acting to assist and protect the citizens of the consul's own country, as well as to facilitate trade and friendship between the people of the two countries.A consul is distinguished from an ambassador, the latter being a representative from one head of state to another, but both have a form of immunity. There can be only one ambassador from one country to another, representing the first country's head of state to that of the second, and their duties revolve around diplomatic relations between the two countries; however, there may be several consuls, one in each of several major cities, providing assistance with bureaucratic issues to both the citizens of the consul's own country traveling or living abroad and to the citizens of the country in which the consul resides who wish to travel to or trade with the consul's country. A less common usage is an administrative consul, who takes a governing role and is appointed by a country that has colonised or occupied another.

Webster Dictionary

  1. Consularadjective

    of or pertaining to a consul; performing the duties of a consul; as, consular power; consular dignity; consular officers

  2. Etymology: [L. consularis; cf. F. consulaire.]
