The Public Affairs Section of the American Embassy is responsible for delivering information about the United States, its government and its policies, and about America’s institutions and its people and culture. As part of this role, the Section’s officers serve as the Embassy’s official press spokesmen. In addition, the Section maintains the Embassy’s web page, organizes conferences, seminars, and talks by visiting American officials and academics as well as electronic meetings of American and Swedish interlocutors. The Section also supports other Sections in the Embassy, including the Commercial and Consular Sections.
The Section organizes a variety of educational and cultural exchanges – both short-term and long-term – that allow Swedish students, academics, and professionals to visit the United States and for Americans to visit Sweden. As part of this work, the Section works closely with the Swedish Fulbright Commission, which enables Swedish and American students and faculty to study in America and Sweden. The Section maintains a particularly active International Visitor program, which arranges study trips and professional appointments for Swedish visitors to the United States.
