Foreign Service Political Officers are negotiators who interpret host country politics and advise on international issues. They keep a trained eye on the political climate in the host country and decipher events as they relate to U.S. interests, negotiations and policies. Often working behind the scenes to analyze and report on local issues and events, they have in-depth knowledge of local culture and history, helping policy makers in Washington, D.C. to better understand events and tailor the U.S. message most effectively. Join us for a panel discussion with Political Officers as they help you explore the world of diplomacy and international operations.
