Isn't that the purpose of diplomats?

"The main functions of diplomats are: representation and protection of the interests and nationals of the sending state; initiation and facilitation of strategic agreements; treaties and conventions; promotion of information; trade and commerce; technology" [1]

Why are we permitting lobbyists to usurp this role?
