We are a vibrant association representing consular officers from across the world who are based in Wales and exists to bring its members together in close and friendly co-operation, for the promotion and protection of their mutual interests.

Currently, the Association includes the representatives of 18 countries: Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, and Thailand.

The Association is open to Career Consuls, Honorary Consuls and Consular Agents who have been officially appointed to serve in the United Kingdom.

Objectives of the Association

Our Association is not for profit. Our constitution lists our objectives as:

  • Acting as a link between members of the Association and the Welsh Government and Senedd Cymru | Welsh Parlament;
  • Providing liaison arrangements between members of the Association and public and private bodies in Wales, including local authorities, local health boards, local universities and other statutory and voluntary bodies in Wales.

Our Consular group reflects a very broad range of experience, and the resources which its members can mobilise are used particularly to benefit the communities of Wales. Our members believe they are a resource which can be used very effectively in the development of economic and cultural contacts, both at the European level and in the wider world. 

Administration of the Association

Our Executive Committee counts nine members elected every year at our Annual General Meeting. It comprises the President, the Vice-President, the Honorary Secretary, the Honorary Treasurer, and five other Committee members.

The President and the Honorary Secretary convene the meetings of the Association, and with the Vice-President, deal with its relations with H.M. Government, the Welsh Government, Senedd Cymru | Welsh Parlament, Local Authorities, and other public bodies. The Executive Committee can also form sub-committees in any area of its activity.
