- List of diplomatic missions in Hong Kong
-
This is a list of consular posts in Hong Kong. As at January 2008, there are 57 consulates-general and 57 consulates (including those represented by honorary consuls, denoted by asterisks (*)), and five officially recognised bodies in Hong Kong.[1] Most of the consulates-general are located in the areas of Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, Wan Chai North, Causeway Bay and Sheung Wan within Victoria City. Only two are located in Kowloon (Cambodia and Nepal), in the areas of Tsim Sha Tsui and Tsim Sha Tsui East respectively.
Of these, 51 consulates-general and seven honorary consulates are also accredited to Macau (as at 2006, denoted by hash signs (#)). There are 10 honorary consulates in Macau, of which two are subordinate to the consulates-general in Hong Kong.[2]
Due to Hong Kong's special status, some consuls-general in Hong Kong have the rank of ambassadors, such as the consuls-general of Brazil,[3] Denmark,[4] Japan,[5] the Philippines[6] and Saudi Arabia,[7] while some have served elsewhere as ambassadors or high commissioners before serving in Hong Kong, e.g., the consuls-general of Australia,[8] Canada,[9][10] Israel,[11] the Netherlands,[12] the United Kingdom[13] and the United States.[14]
