TREK NOTES:

Federation (Saint John Talbot), Romulan (Caithlin Dar) and Klingon (Gen. Koord) consuls were posted in Paradise City on Nimbus III, “the Planet of Galactic Peace”. They were taken hostage by Sybok and his followers. (ST5)

In the 22nd century Vulcans maintained "consulates" on Earth (Sausalito, Canberra, Berlin) (ENT various episodes) and Mazar (ENT "Fallen Hero").  (By the mid-2270's the Vulcan Consulate was called an embassy (ST:TMP).)  OTOH there was a United Earth embassy on Vulcan in the 2150's (ENT "The Forge").

“Diplomacy should be a job left to diplomats.” (Special Ambassador Robert Fox to Scott & McCoy, TOS “A Taste of Armageddon”)

"The only tool diplomacy has is language." (Amb. Hodin, TOS "The Mark of Gideon")

"Diplomats and bureaucrats may function differently, but they achieve exactly the same results." (Spock, TOS "The Mark of Gideon")

McCOY:  Just when I was beginning to think you might find a new career as a diplomat! 
SPOCK:  Do not give up that hope, Doctor.  (TOS "The Mark of Gideon")
