Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Thomas A. Shannon, Jr. will travel to Vancouver, Canada on February 8-9 to participate in the G-7 Political Directors meeting. Canada holds the G-7 presidency for 2018.

Under Secretary Shannon’s engagement in Vancouver with his G-7 counterparts will set the stage for a Foreign Ministers’ meeting and Leaders’ Summit later in the year.
