This will go a long way in addressing the needs of the embassy in the area of communication between them and the authorities back home in the country.

It is high time that companies also start edto assist them whenever they make requests for their felt needs. This is the only way their problems can be solved.

Foreign embassies play a very important role in the socio-political development of any nation.
