Young Diplomats Meet U.S. Diplomats at the Embassy

23 October 2007

Young Diplomats of Warsaw University

Thirty-five members of the Young Diplomats Association at Warsaw University visited the U.S. Embassy to meet with U.S. diplomats and ask questions about international relations, current political issues, visa policy and U.S.-EU economic relations.  U.S. Ambassador to Poland Victor Ashe welcomed the group to the Embassy on October 18, where they had an opportunity to listen to Embassy diplomats on a wide variety of issues.  Political Officer John Gorkowski outlined the current U.S.-Polish political situation to the group, Economic Counselor Richard Rorvig spoke on the state of the U.S. economy in the context of U.S.-Polish ties and Consular Officer Jared Banks briefed the students on U.S. immigration and visa policy.

The Young Diplomats Association is an independent and apolitical youth organization established in 1999 and assembles students of international relations, political and social sciences and economic studies to provide professional background for participation in public and social life in Poland, to strengthen civil society in Poland and establish international relations with counterparts from abroad.
