Launched in 1940, the U.S. Department of State International Visitor Program seeks to build mutual understanding between the United States and other nations through carefully designed professional visits to the U.S. for current and emerging foreign leaders. Through these encounters, they gain a greater understanding of the cultural and political society of the United States. Over 180 current and former heads of government and state and many other distinguished world leaders in the public and private sectors have participated in the Department of State’s International Visitor Program. We are proud to now have Mr. Baghdasaryan among the program’s alumni.
