Conversations With America is an online video series featuring interviews between the leaders of nongovernmental organizations and top State Department Officials. Launched by the Bureau of Public Affairs in 2010, the videos are made available online here on state.gov; on the Department of State’s official blog, DipNote; and as Apple iTunes video podcasts.
Through Conversations With America, leaders of national nongovernmental organizations have the opportunity to discuss foreign policy and global issues with senior State Department officials. These conversations aim to provide candid views of the ways in which leaders from the foreign affairs community are engaging the Department on pressing foreign policy issues. From Afghanistan to India, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and internet freedom to world water issues, the Conversations with America series showcases how both the U.S. Government and civil society are working across the globe on issues that concern Americans most.
