On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Consulate General, the German-American Institute Saxony cordially invites you to a special lounge talk at Club International with Jodi Breisler, who has been serving as U.S. Consul General in Leipzig since October 2025. We are honored to be able to host this event on the very day, that the Consulate was opened in Leipzig 200 years ago.
For two centuries, the partnership between the United States and Germany has shaped political, economic, and societal cooperation—grounded in shared values, close collaboration, and a continuous dialogue. Against the backdrop of profound geopolitical changes, the discussion will explore how this long-standing relationship can continue to evolve: which impulses are needed to strengthen existing ties, open new perspectives, and ensure that transatlantic cooperation remains resilient and forward-looking, in particular in regards to people-to-people- diplomacy.
Members of DAIS e.V. who wish to participate are kindly requested to register directly with the Executive Director or the DAIS team via mail.
