About the Program

The Diplomatic Program positions CFR as an important resource for the diplomatic community by fostering exchange between foreign representatives and American business, political, and academic leaders. The embassies, in turn, provide valuable insights on U.S. foreign policy, how it affects their countries, and how it is perceived by their citizens. The program's ultimate goal is to establish better, more informed policy--both at home and around the world.

Executive Branch Meeting Series

CFR's Washington Program has recently launched a new rountable briefing series for executive branch officials. Please email CFRWashington@cfr.org for more details.
