Questions & Answers about La chancelière organise l'assemblée en tant que diplomate.
Why is there no article before diplomate?
Similar to how articles are dropped in nominal appositions (like Marie, directrice), French drops the article when a profession or role follows en tant que (in the capacity of). The word diplomate acts as a characteristic describing her role rather than a standalone noun, so adding une would be incorrect here.
Could I use comme instead of en tant que in this sentence?
Since the chancellor is a woman, shouldn't diplomate have a feminine ending?
