Meanings of new embassies in English

Offices were plenty; new embassies were to be created, old embassies to be filled anew.

Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore received approval from his ministerial colleagues to open new embassies and consulates at the weekly Cabinet meeting this morning.

This follows last October's announcement of new embassies in New Zealand, Colombia, Chile and Jordan and new consulates in Vancouver and Mumbai.

This has fuelled speculation the Government is preparing to announce the opening of a number of new embassies and consulates around the world.

Government plans to open seven new embassies and consulates around the world suggest a welcome and overdue willingness to invest in Ireland's global relationships.
