On June 25, Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Richard R. Verma will travel to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Boston, Massachusetts.
In Portsmouth, the Deputy Secretary will welcome new U.S. citizens attending a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services naturalization ceremony at the State Department’s National Visa Center, which has handled immigrant visa processing for over 30 years. He will also visit the National Passport Center to acknowledge the team’s significant contributions in issuing a record-breaking 24 million passport books and cards last year.
The Deputy Secretary will also participate in a roundtable discussion with local and national elected officials, business leaders, and other dignitaries. They will discuss how the Department of State advances a foreign policy that amplifies the voice, vision, and role of local government and the private sector to benefit all Americans by addressing climate change, promoting tourism and safe international travel, educational and cultural exchange, and facilitating international trade and investment.
In Boston, Deputy Secretary Verma will participate in a fireside chat on the state of the State Department and national security hosted by WorldBoston at the Boston Public Library. WorldBoston is a nongovernmental organization partner in the Global Ties US network that manages the International Visitor Leadership Program, which brings current and emerging foreign leaders to the United States to experience this country firsthand and develop relationships.
