So lucky to be surrounded by two amazing Heathers — Deputy Chief of Mission Heather Variava and Office Manager Heather Powell — who really run the show at U.S. Embassy in the Philippines! I rely on their wisdom, support, and friendship every day. 💜🙏🏽 #WomenUpliftingWomen #WomensHistoryMonth

Every year on #ForeignServiceDay in a solemn ceremony, AFSA remembers friends and colleagues who lost their lives serving their nation overseas.

So proud of my son and his friends! #CreightonGrad ⁦Creighton University⁩ ⁦Creighton University Heider College of Business⁩

You never know how far learning foreign languages will take you. Got to practice the original language of diplomacy with a future diplomat in Seoul. Our future is in good hands.

Exciting news! Such an honor.

Excellent statements of commitment and support at the start of #RTIMLaoPDR from four Ambassadors -- France 🇫🇷 on behalf of #TeamEurope 🇪🇺, USA 🇺🇸, Australia 🇦🇺 and Thailand 🇹🇭 -- reflecting on the progress of Lao PDR 🇱🇦 9th NSEDP and Smooth Transition Strategy for #LDC graduation

#ColinPowell, first African American U.S. Secretary of Department of State, was a pathbreaker. He served as both the top #diplomat, and also as the country’s first Black national security adviser and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. #FSJ hubs.ly/Q02lfQkC0 #BlackHistoryMonth

Today Lao PDR’s development partners met with H.E. Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone for a debrief from the Round Table Meeting. We discussed progress of the 9th #NSEDP and perspectives for the 10th Plan, with key messages and policy support from DPs for both cycles #RTIMLaoPDR🇱🇦

Met with Foreign Minister Saleumxay Kommasith today and reaffirmed the United States' support for Laos’ ASEAN chair year. We also discussed the importance of strengthening the U.S.-Lao Comprehensive Partnership.

Welcome back to Laos, Mr. Secretary!

Thanked our U.S. Embassy Vientiane and US Mission to ASEAN teams for their hard work to advance our relationships with the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and with ASEAN. Their efforts are moving our vital partnerships forward at a pivotal time.

So inspiring to see this great collaboration between Dept. of Agriculture and World Food Programme - the link between nutrition and education is critical. And who can resist these awesome kids?!
