  Diplomatic rank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of the four diplomatic ranks, only the ambassador represents the head of state (rather than the government as is the case for the other ranks); originally only the ambassador was entitled to use the honorary title "His/Her Excellency".
The appropriate diplomatic ranks used would be determined by the precedence among the nations; thus the exchanges of ambassadors (the highest diplomatic rank) would be reserved among major nations.
Consequently the use of the ranks of envoy and minister resident gradually ceased, and for all intents and purposes the only permanent diplomatic rank used today is that of the ambassador.

With the development of states as independent entities and of intercourse between them and their nationals, the work of diplomatic missions increased to such an extent that instead of having merely occasional ambassadors as at the beginning, states found it expedient to have resident representatives with a permanent residence.
Out of the further expansion of the work of diplomatic missions came duplication of the personnel and classes of diplomatic secretaries, who as forming part of the embassy or legation also h d to be covered by the diplomatic immunity.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Mark Chen (³¯­ð¤s) yesterday broke his silence on the controversy sparked by the words he used to condemn his Singaporean counterpart, blaming the local media for "out of focus" reporting on the incident.
Claiming frustration at Singaporean Foreign Minister George Yeo's "unfair" remarks at a U.N. meeting, Chen said Monday that Yeo was embracing China's "balls," and the fact that even a country "the size of a booger" can criticize Taiwan and former President Lee Teng-hui (§õµn½÷) at the United Nations reflects the diplomatic difficulties Taiwan is facing.
Chen's comments came in response to a speech by Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs Yeo at a U.N. meeting last week in which he stated that the push towards independence by certain groups in Taiwan is dangerous as it would lead to a war with China and destabilize the region.
