EMBASSY SECTIONS
Public Affairs Section
The goal of the Public Affairs Section is to help maintain the long-standing, excellent relationship between Iceland and the United States. Its programs, from support of the Fulbright educational exchanges to giving grants to Icelandic educational and cultural institutions, strengthen the dialogue between Icelanders and Americans. This promotes mutual understanding, enhances bilateral ties and interests of both countries.
This section manages press relations with the Icelandic media, provides information about U.S. society & culture to the Icelandic public, and explains U.S. policies to opinion makers. It seeks to promote the best of American culture in Iceland, encourages educational and professional exchanges among Icelanders and Americans, and advises the other members of the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik on issues of public diplomacy.
