Commercial staff --- I would like to share with the classroom the experience of Mexico in this matter. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs privileges both administrative models, the commercial attaché and the diplomatic one, not only in the Mexican embassies, but also in the consular branch, we find civilian trade specialists in consulates and embassies appointed for their specialized knowledge.However, career diplomats also carry out commercial functions without having always commercial training, but rather the commitment to update themselves on commercial issues through courses and training during their diplomatic careers.
