驻外 (zhù wài) — (attributive) stationed abroad; overseas (posting)
Definition
驻外 means 'stationed overseas' and is used almost only as an attributive modifier before a job title or role noun (驻外记者, 驻外大使, 驻外人员) — not as a predicate on its own. It refers specifically to being posted abroad by an organization or government.
