The Office of International Relations and Trade Development, housed in offices in the World Trade Center, was a subdivision of the Mayor's Economic Development Division. (An organizational chart accompanying the city's annual budget consistently places this office under the Intergovernmental Relations Division; no other available documentation, however, supports this organizational structure). The Office was in charge of coordinating the administration's international efforts, with a focus on international relations and protocol. The Office served as the city's official contact with the consular corps and coordinated the various activities surrounding visits of foreign dignitaries. It was also responsible for handling the Mayor's foreign correspondence and with coordinating his courtesy calls with international dignitaries and visitors and his foreign trade missions
