TheKautilya School of Public Policy, Hyderabad, GITAM (Deemed to be University), hosted a team from the United States Consulate General Hyderabad for a stimulating session touching upon themes ranging from Indo-U.S. relations to the need for public diplomacy programs for next-generation leaders. The visit translated into a synergy of international relationship building between the U.S. Consulate team and the faculty members of the institute at the campus, in compliance with the Covid19 safety norms. 


The team from the U.S. Consulate constituted of Mr. David Moyer, Public Affairs Officer; Mr. Salil Kader, Cultural Affairs Advisor; and Mr. Senthil Kumar, Cultural Affairs Assistant. Various topics such as the new administration’s priorities, consulate operations and public diplomacy programs were brought to the forefront.

He spoke about the importance of partnerships between U.S. and Indian higher education institutions in all fields, including public policy. He said, “The strong ties between Telangana in particular and India in general and the United States can become even stronger through student and faculty connections. We hope more U.S. students will choose to study in India in addition to the large number of Indian students pursuing degrees in the United States. Our visit today to the campus is a testimony of our commitment to strengthening the relations of our two countries.”
