Bipartisan Congressional Dialogue - Diplomacy and Development in a Complex Global Landscape

America’s capacity to manage global challenges and advance its interests—amid pandemics, record levels of displacement, terrorism emanating from fragile states and a connected global economy—requires effective use of U.S. national security tools. To meet the challenges posed by the growing influence of China and Russia, U.S. diplomatic and development efforts must evolve and adapt to a complex 21st Century world while ensuring the effectiveness of resources and methods.

Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA) and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, will discuss how U.S. diplomacy and development are working to achieve America’s goals and adapt to the changing global landscape at USIP’s eighth Bipartisan Congressional Dialogue. 

Speakers: Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA) U.S. Representative from California

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) U.S. Representative from New York

Nancy Lindborg, moderator President, U.S. Institute of Peace
