Counselor for Public Affairs Thomas Mesa participated in the opening ceremony and also gave a presentation entitled, “Education: A Key to Strengthening Ties between our Two Countries.”
Consul General Brendan O’Brien also attended and discussed consular issues, and the Embassy’s Social Media Team gave a virtual presentation on the use of social media for the BNCs.
