Federation Diplomatic Corps

The Federation Diplomatic Corps is a body of the Federation that negotiates with other powers. It is a division of the Federation Department of the Exterior which is responsible for negotiating treaties with foreign states and maintaining inter-state relations. It is composed of Ambassadors, and executes the foreign policy set by the Federation President, Federation Council, and Federation Secretary of the Exterior. The Diplomatic Corps often works closely with the Federation Starfleet.

The Federation Diplomatic Corps are widely considered to be obstinante and an impediment to the effective implimentation of foreign policy by many in the Federation government and Starfleet. Nontheless, its negotiating skills have proven invaluable in maintaining relatively good relations with many foreign states. (Star Trek: Insurrection, Interphase: Book One, Articles of the Federation, et. al.)

Curzon Dax knew a female member of the Diplomatic Corps. Jadzia Dax talked to her in 2372, and she told her of Federation worlds near the Klingon border were calling for preemptive strike on the Empire. (DS9: "Broken Link")

In 2375, during the Dominion War, the Corps main diplomatic focus was with the Dominion. This meant they were unable to mediate in a border dispute in the Goren system, a task which was assigned to the USS Enterprise-E. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
