INTRODUCTION
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.
Activities organized by the Public Affairs section include academic,
professional and youth exchanges, information dissemination, conferences and
roundtables with American participants and cultural programs. The Public Affairs
Section is also responsible for relations between the Embassy and national and
international print and broadcast media and the Embassy web page.
Public Affairs has offices in the Madrid embassy and the Barcelona consulate.
To the side are links to more information on the activities and programs managed
by Public Affairs in Spain.
