"Agrément" is formal approval of an ambassador by the host government. It's the proper diplomatic term, and although you probably wouldn't use it in everyday speech, in this context, where formal language is required, I think it's the term to use. "Agrément Diplomatic courtesy requires that before a state appoints a new chief of diplomatic mission to represent it in another state, it must be first ascertained whether the proposed appointee is acceptable to the receiving state. The acquiescence of the receiving state is signified by its granting its agrément to the appointment. It is unusual for an agrément to be refused, but it occasionally happens." http://www.ediplomat.com/nd/glossary.htm#A "Diplomatic Terms agrément - official approval by a foreign government of an ambassador-designate or a minister-designate." http://diplomat.50webs.org/AnnexB.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2012-09-11 20:19:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are other French terms used in English diplomatic language, like "chargé d'affaires", for example. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2012-09-11 20:26:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Mr. Thorpe asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on what date Her Majesty's Government gave the agrément for the new Ambassador of the Republic of South Africa to the Court of St. James." http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1972/nov/20/south...
