1 :
diplomat = 1. One, such as an ambassador, who has been appointed to represent a government in its relations with other governments. 2. One who uses skill and tact in dealing with others. ambassador = A diplomatic official of the highest rank appointed and accredited as representative in residence by one government or sovereign to another, usually for a specific length of time. It seems they represent the same thing (primary meaning). Figuratively, they differ.
2 :
An ambassador remains in the country and serves as a permanent link to their originating country. Diplomats are gov't officals from the originating country who are only in said country for a temporary time.
3 :
no difference they are both politicians
