FCO diplomatic staff that work within South Asia and Afghanistan Directorate (SAAD)
which includes India, and 40-59 diplomatic staff that work within Asia Pacific Directorate
(APD), including China. This does not include home civil servants. We are unable to
offer numbers working on inividual countries within these Directorates. In addition,
there are officers in other areas of the FCO whose work relates to China or India
