“美国的多样性是很少有其他国家可及的力量之源。当我们未能建立一个代表美国的团队时，就像我们一只胳膊被捆在背后与世界打交道。”
布林肯国务卿
本周一，美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯（Antony Blinken ）宣布吉纳·阿伯克龙比-温斯坦利（Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley）大使担任美国国务院多样性和共融事务首席官员。
布林肯在宣布任命时表示，“多样性和共融有助于我们外交团队更强大、更富有智慧、创造力和创新精神。”“拜登总统（President Biden）明确表示，重点解决多样性、平等、共融和无障碍等事务也与国家安全息息相关。”
有30多年外交经验的阿伯克龙比-温斯坦利大使将倡导充分发挥人才的作用，提拔缺乏代表性的群体，同时责成未能做到的人员承担责任，其中包括高层领导人。她将直接向国务卿汇报。大使，欢迎回来！让我们来听听她自己是怎么说的。
State Department creates new position to advocate for diplomatic diversity
“America’s diversity is a source of strength that few countries can match, when we fail to build a team that reflects America, it’s like we’re engaging the world with one arm tied behind our back.”
Secretary Blinken
This past Monday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced former Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley will be the U.S. Department of State’s first chief diversity and inclusion officer.
“Diversity and inclusion make our diplomatic team stronger, smarter, more creative, more innovative,” said Blinken during the announcement. “As President Biden has made clear, prioritizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility is also a national security imperative.”
Ambassador Abercrombie-Winstanley, who has over 30 years of diplomatic experience, will advocate for underrepresented groups to be promoted in their roles and hold accountable those who fail to do so, including senior leadership. She will report directly to the secretary of state. Welcome back, Ambassador! Let’s hear her in her own words.
