Public Affairs
The goal of our activities is to promote greater understanding between North Macedonia and the United States. The Public Affairs Office has two main functions. It acts as the Embassy press office, and it runs most U.S. Government-funded cultural, information, and educational exchange programs. The Press Office handles relations between the Embassy and all media in North Macedonia and abroad and coordinates inquiries, interviews, and other media events for mission officers.
Public Affairs also maintains the Information Resource Center (IRC) at the Embassy, which provides information support to North Macedonia Government Offices and Institutions, Embassy Officers, and General Public. The IRC has available current, comprehensive information about the United States, in electronic and/or print formats.
