I wish to express my sincere greetings to the participants of the 9th World Congress of Consuls, and extend a warm welcome to those participants coming from abroad.
It is an honor to have this opportunity to share my experience as a Senior Member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of Representatives with this distinguished gathering of consuls—the men and women who stand on the frontlines of international relations.
This is a new publication which will be sent to you periodically. The main objectives are to keep you up-to-date on decisions taken, and also to highlight activities of the Consular Corps and Associations worldwide. It is also a vehicle through which you can make suggestions.
