The establishment of diplomatic relations between states implies agreement in principle to the establishment of consular relations unless the contrary is specifically stated; but the severance of diplomatic relations does not automatically signify the severance of consular relations.

The establishment of a consular post requires the prior approval of the host state, which may ask to be provided with details of the location and status of the post (i.e. Consulate-General, Consulate, Vice-Consulate or Honorary Consulate) and its area of consular jurisdiction. Its prior approval must also be obtained for any subsequent changes in these particulars, and also for the establishment of any subsidiary consular offices elsewhere in the consular area.
