Embassies are essentially the office of a country/government that resides in a foreign country.
For example, the US Embassy in Germany is an extention of the US Govt in Germany. Likewise, the German Embassy in the US is an extension of the German govt.
The highest ranking official in an Embassy is an Ambassador.
In his memoirs, Dean Acheson recalled “All the North Atlantic Treaty ministers met in Washington on April 2 to approve the draft treaty and arrange for its signature at a ceremony set for April 4. Here President Truman again showed his consideration for me. I had told him that it would be appropriate and fitting for him to sign the treaty on behalf of the United States, but this he refused to do. He would attend the ceremony and stand beside me as I signed, but the treaty would bear my name.”
