Myanmar Embassies and Consulates

What is Diplomatic Mission

A diplomatic mission is an official representation of one state in another. It is headed by an ambassador or other diplomatic representative. The mission’s main tasks are to represent the sending state to the receiving state, protect the interests of the sending state and its nationals in the receiving state, and promote friendly relations between the two states.

The diplomatic mission of Myanmar in Washington, D.C. is located at 2300 S Street NW, Washington, D.C., 20008. The mission’s current ambassador is U Aung Lynn.

The mission’s functions include:

  • Representing Myanmar to the United States government.
  • Protecting the interests of Myanmar nationals in the United States.
  • Promoting trade and investment between Myanmar and the United States.
  • Promoting cultural understanding between Myanmar and the United States.
  • Providing consular services to Myanmar nationals in the United States.

The mission also hosts a number of events and programs to promote Myanmar’s culture and to build relationships with the American people.

What is Consulate?

A consulate is a diplomatic mission of a country located in a foreign city, but not in the capital city of that foreign country. Consulates are headed by a consul, who is responsible for providing consular services to citizens of the country that the consulate represents.
