Word meaning-"mission"

The alleged deep-cover agents are known as illegals in the intelligence world because they take civilian jobs instead of operating inside Russian embassies or missions.

---> this is a sentence I took from AP news and I'm having trouble interpreting the word "missions". Does it mean "consulate" in this context???

I think it can refer to any government-backed group of people sent abroad to represent or promote their country (for example, a trade mission).
