Chargés d'affaires en pied ("e.p.") are appointed to be permanent heads of mission, in cases where the two countries lack ambassadorial-level relations.[3][4] They are appointed by letters of credence from the foreign minister of the sending state to the foreign minister of the receiving state. In certain cases, a chargé d'affaires may be appointed for long periods, such as when a mission is headed by a non-resident ambassador who is accredited to multiple countries. In addition, a mission may be downgraded from an ambassadorial to a chargé d'affaires level to show displeasure, yet avoid taking the extremely serious step of breaking diplomatic relations.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2162.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2162.txt
