Nordrhein Westfalen, previewed the opening of the new U.S. Embassy at Pariser Platz later this year, and discussed a number of topics relevant to the bilateral relationship. Questions from the audience concerned, inter alia, the Administration’s position on climate change, the role of public diplomacy, the 2008 presidential elections, and U.S. relations with Russia. It was the CG’s fourth visit to Muenster in the last eight months.
