Overseas representative of a country (6)

I believe the answer is:

consul

(Other definitions for consul that I've seen before include "Napoleon, the first one" , "Magistrate in ancient Rome or modern diplomat" , "Chief magistrate in ancient Rome" , "Overseas representative" , "Ambassador" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
