Ambassadors' Roundtables

The Ambassadors' Roundtable, initiated in June 2010, is a luncheon series that provides an opportunity for U.S. diplomats to engage in off-the-record, meaningful dialogues with Chiefs of Foreign Missions currently accredited to the White House. Senior State Department officials also have participated as guest speakers in the Ambassadors' Roundtable program.

You can find recordings of the Ambassadors' Roundtables here.
