Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs

The Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, Karen Hughes, helps ensure that public diplomacy (engaging, informing, and influencing key international audiences) is practiced in harmony with public affairs (outreach to Americans) and traditional diplomacy to advance U.S. interests and security and to provide the moral basis for U.S. leadership in the world.
