There are 122 diplomatic missions in Hong Kong, of which 61 are consulates-general and 61 are consulates (including those represented by honorary consuls, denoted by ‡) and six officially recognised bodies in Hong Kong.[1] As Hong Kong has the status of a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, some consuls-general in Hong Kong report directly to their respective foreign ministries, rather than to their Embassies in Beijing.
Most of the consulates-general are located in the areas of Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, Wan Chai North, Causeway Bay and Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island. Only three are located in Kowloon (Cambodia, Nepal and Chile), in the areas of Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsim Sha Tsui East and Kowloon Bay respectively.
Of these, 55 consulates-general and seven honorary consulates are also accredited to Macau (denoted by †). There are 10 honorary consulates in Macau, of which two are subordinate to the consulates-general in Hong Kong.[2]
