The article, based on open sources, examines the process of establishing and the key features of the functioning of honorary (non-staff) consulates of foreign states in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine. It is established that between 2002 and 2025, four honorary consulates operated in the region: Bulgaria (2002– 2022), Kazakhstan (2006–2017), Austria (since 2017), and Latvia (since 2019). The study identifies the initiators of the consulates’ establishment, the duration of the process, and the key stages of their institutionalization. It also outlines the boundaries of the consular districts of the honorary consulates operating in the Zaporizhzhia region and provides biographical notes on individuals who have held the position of honorary consul.
The key areas of activity of the honorary consulates and their contributions to the development of interstate relations at the regional level have been identi- fied, namely: 1) establishing bilateral interregional economic ties and attract- ing investments; 2) maintaining communication with the Ambassadors of the accrediting state and its top leadership; 3) interacting with the leadership of re- gional authorities and local governments within the consular district to develop and implement bilateral interregional partnership projects; 4) promoting cultural diplomacy through national cultural festivals, theatrical and musical events, the erection of monuments to notable figures, and the publication of historical works;
5) fostering educational cooperation by establishing partnerships between edu- cational institutions in the Zaporizhzhia region and foreign countries, supporting the modernization of the educational process (e.g., providing modern equipment, participating in the accreditation of educational programs, and conducting guest lectures); 6) providing charitable assistance to medical and social institutions, as well as to underprivileged citizens; 7) organizing the delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid during the war in response to Russia’s full-scale aggression. The article presents specific cases illustrating the implementation of each of these areas in the activities of honorary consulates in the Zaporizhzhia region.
