Attache to the embassy ??

Question

My dad was an "attache to the embassy" during the Vietnam war and we lived in Vietnam as a child. ALthough I have asked he never really told me what this means. I know we lived in Denang but he work in Siagon. What kind of work did he do ????

Answer 1

an ambassador is the representative of the president or a head of state to the other country. for example, the ambassador of america to the philippines is the alterego of US President, but posted in the philippines. his duties are basically political in nature.

The term normally denotes an official, under the authority of an Ambassador or other head of a diplomatic mission, who serves either as a diplomat or as a member of the support staff. He monitors various issues related to areas of intervention. To this end, he undertakes the planning for decisions which will be taken and makes all necessary arrangements, manages the agenda, conducts research for the study of particular matters, and acts as representative when necessary, or If ur father was an attache, he is more into the economic side. Trade and foreign investments.
