Ambassador Ashe Welcomes You to E-News

Ambassador Ashe

Welcome to the first edition of American Embassy Warsaw’s Embassy News, E-News for short. We wanted to bring your attention to some of the recent highlights in U.S./Polish relations and what we as a mission are doing on the ground for the Polish people. I personally feel that it is essential for our mission here to reach out to all segments of Polish society which is why I have taken it upon myself to travel extensively within Poland including visits to all 16 regions. This electronic letter is just another mechanism by which we will try to keep the Polish public apprised of our engagement here.

We at the American Embassy would like to take this opportunity to once again congratulate President Kaczyński on his victory as well as those elected to the new Sejm. We look forward to working with them in writing a new page in the long history of strong U.S./Polish relations.

You will note that at the top of this page there is a feedback link by which you can let us know how we could make this medium more useful for you. Additionally, feel free to forward this to anyone you feel might be interested in our activities and would like to subscribe for E-news. Thanks for your attention and I sincerely hope you find this new electronic outreach useful.
