U.S. Department of State’s Post

What do cables on the ocean floor have to do with the State Department?  Undersea cables carry more than 95% of the world’s digital traffic. Any disruption or compromise could isolate a country, threaten national security, or lead to billions of dollars in damage. That’s why we’re working with our partners and private companies to ensure this infrastructure is secure and resilient. “This partnership is absolutely essential,” Secretary Blinken said when he visited technology company NEC Corporation in Tokyo during his recent trip to Asia. That’s also why we are always on the lookout for architects, engineers, digital communication experts and others to join our team.  Watch the video to learn more about our global collaborations and check out https://careers.state.gov/ for job opportunities at State.

Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, and Alsu Kurmasheva are now on their way back to the United States from Russia. Through the extraordinary efforts of countless people in the State Department and across our government, the United States was able to strike an agreement to secure their freedom, as well as that of Vladimir Kara-Murza and twelve others held prisoner inside Russia. Under President Biden’s leadership, we have secured the release of dozens of Americans who were held hostage or wrongfully detained. My pledge to the families of those still separated from their families is the same that I made to those returning home today. We will not forget you, and we will not rest until you see your loved ones again. - Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken

Someone you know probably works for a company that sells products or services in Southeast Asia. Or maybe you have met an exchange student from the region. But you might not have ever heard of ASEAN. Brunei Darussalam, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam make up the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, known as ASEAN.  These 10 Asian countries represent the world’s fourth-largest market. Secretary Blinken met with leaders from those countries during The ASEAN Secretariat’s recent meeting in Laos. They discussed maritime issues, the South China Sea, the crisis in Burma, and more. Take a listen from U.S. Ambassador to ASEAN, Yohannes Abraham, on what ASEAN and the region mean to the U.S. and how it fits with the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy.
