The Chiefs of Mission Meeting is a biennial gathering of Westarctica's Honorary Consular Corps as well as invited citizens, nobles, and other officials. It is primarily intended to be a brainstorming session between members of the Foreign Office and the Grand Duke.
The first Chiefs of Mission Meeting meeting was held in the trendy Fredrickstrasse neighborhood of Berlin, Germany on 2 November 2018. It was attended by Honorary Consuls from Italy, England, and Spain as well as other members of Westarctica's government, citizens of the nation, and invited guests. After a two hour meet and greet session where the diplomats talked with one another and introduced themselves to guests, the attendees dined together at a local restaurant not far from the Reichstag building. Following dinner, they gathered in a hotel lounge along the Spree River where the Grand Duke gave a speech highlighting the accomplishments of the diplomatic corps and the nation as a whole. His Royal Highness then awarded three diplomats with knighthoods in the Order of the Snowflake as well as granting the Consul to Spain the title Baron of Dorrel.
