Although the general meaning of 'Gesandter' is 'envoy', further research shows that it is also a specific rank within the Austrian government/diplomacy. See, for example, http://www.bmlfuw.gv.at/ministerium/der-minister/ministerbue...

In addition, 'Gesandter' may also just mean 'ambassador'.

Even more formally, 'Gesandter' might also be translated as 'emissary', which sounds a bit old-fashioned/outdated, though.
