Meridian International

Meridian International Center (Meridian) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit diplomacy center with the vision that greater understanding and collaboration between the United States and the world leads to a more prosperous future for all. Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Washington, DC, we have long served as a place where global leaders gather, future leaders are found, and international collaboration thrives.

We believe we are stronger at home when globally engaged, so our mission is to strengthen engagement between the U.S. and the world to find solutions on shared global challenges. We do this by partnering with the U.S. government, the private sector, and the diplomatic community on four core pillars of focus in our work:

• Global Leadership: Building the next generation of global leaders empowered to create change through exchange and training programs
• Diplomatic Engagement: Strengthening foreign policy decisions and outcomes by accelerating collaboration across borders
• Culture: Increasing understanding of the United States and other countries through shared interests in art and culture
• Corporate Diplomacy: Advancing global competitiveness and collaboration through effective private sector engagement
