Representatives of the Assyrian Confederation of Europe (ACE) are on a ground breaking visit to Washington DC in coordination with the Assyrian American National Federation (AANF). The aim of the visit is to build a closer relationship between the two umbrella organisations, to send a strong message of unity to offices in Washington and to exchange best practices and ideas. The photo shows members of the AANF and ACE at the state departement with representatives of the White House National Security Council and state departement officials working on Syria and Iraq.
