For most countries in the world, the first step to maintaining good relations is to exchange ambassadors and establish embassies in each country.
However, for Australia, despite having successfully gained independence, it did not widely dispatch ambassadors to various nations due to Arthur's wish to keep a low profile and his good relationship with Queen Victoria. In fact, aside from the United Kingdom and Germany, Australia had no connections with other countries.
Upon hearing Minister Herbert's proposal to dispatch ambassadors, Arthur realised that Australia's international presence in Europe was relatively low. It was indeed necessary to have embassies in key nations to facilitate the execution of some plans for Arthur and Australia.
