Discussion

Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Dec 10, 2021:
Perhaps they are ranking or even senior, but perhaps they are simply junior of mid-level officials. It may depend on the gravity of the matter. The sentence seems to imply that people are meeting at a equal level, whatever it may be.
The Misha Dec 10, 2021:
Oh, that... I do it all the time, so I can relate.

Come to think of it, it would probably come out more natural if you simply said "ranking foreign ministry officials".
Angela Greenfield (asker) Dec 9, 2021:
@TheMisha The holdup is because I am overthinking everything as usual. Just didn’t like the awkward run on sentence that I was able to produce so was looking for more благозвучные options 😁
The Misha Dec 9, 2021:
So what's the hold up here? Foreign ministry officials of a certain appropriate level, blah, blah. Never mind them representatives. Let alone counterparts, eew. But you know that, of course. Cheers, Angela!
