Public Affairs Programs & Resources
The diplomatic officials and local staff of the Public
Affairs Section of the US Embassy in Madrid and the Consulate in Barcelona
promote and explain US government policies and processes, as well as the values
and culture of the American people. Working closely with Spanish government
officials at national, regional and local levels, as well as the private
institutions and organizations that form Spanish civil society, they strive to
strengthen existing institutional, educational, and cultural ties between the
peoples of the United States and Spain, while also developing new areas of
cooperation in such fields of mutual interest as counterterrorism, law
enforcement, commerce, energy security, environmental preservation, and respect
for diversity and human rights.
Public Affairs has offices in the Madrid embassy
and the Barcelona Consulate.
