About U.S. Department of State
The U.S. Department of State is a federal executive department responsible for the country's foreign policy and international relations, a role it has held since 1789. It is headed by the Secretary of State, who serves as the President's chief foreign affairs adviser and carries out presidential foreign policy through the Foreign Service, the Civil Service, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Its stated mission is to protect and promote U.S. security, prosperity, and democratic values.
The department administers a worldwide network of embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic posts, which sources put at roughly 270. Its consular work covers passport and visa services, assistance to U.S. citizens overseas, and travel advisories. It also negotiates treaties and international agreements, represents the United States at the United Nations, manages the Foreign Service, and holds partial jurisdiction over immigration. Its Bureau of Diplomatic Security protects U.S. diplomatic missions and personnel. The headquarters is in Washington, D.C., and the sources reviewed do not list any offices located within New York State.
