Global Music Diplomacy Initiative

The Global Music Diplomacy Initiative is a United States diplomatic initiative launched by Secretary of State Antony Blinken in partnership with The Recording Academy at the U.S. Department of State on September 27, 2023.

Modeled on Cold War–era U.S. jazz diplomacy, its stated mission is to "elevate music as a diplomatic tool to promote peace and democracy" while supporting U.S. foreign policy objectives. It leverages "current public diplomacy music programs to create public-private partnerships with American companies and non-profits to use music to... convey American leadership globally and create connections with people worldwide."
