Meridian International Center

Meridian International Center is a nonpartisan, nonprofit diplomacy center founded in 1960 with the vision that greater understanding and collaboration between the United States and the world leads to a more secure, prosperous future for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C. on a four-acre campus with two historic properties, Meridian has long served as a place where global leaders strengthen engagement between the U.S. and the world. We do this by partnering with the U.S. government, the private sector and the diplomatic community on our three programmatic pillars: global leadership, diplomacy and culture.
