Ambassador Timken, accompanied by Consul General Matt Boyse, called on the Lord Mayor Baerbel Dieckmann on September 25 at the Bonn Rathaus and signed the Golden Book. The Ambassador thanked the Mayor for her outstanding support for the Embassy’s move to Berlin, and more broadly for her cooperation and that of her predecessors during the Bonn Republic. They also discussed the challenges of integration in Germany and the United States. The Ambassador briefed the Lord Mayor on the Mission’s engagement with the Muslim communities in Germany, including the “Windows on America” program for youth and the “Streets of Wedding” musical, as well as the many Iftar dinners he and the Consuls General have hosted during Ramadan in recent years.
