Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State International Day for Persons with DisabilitiesToday we commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which celebrates the contributions of persons with disabilities worldwide. Persons with disabilities serve as leaders in business, government, media, and throughout civil society. The United States has made advocating for disability rights central to our foreign policy, including in trade, migration, energy security, and emerging technology policy. We actively engage with stakeholders worldwide, across all elements of society, to advance these efforts. Whether establishing inclusive supply chains in Kenya, connecting disability advocates and government representatives from the Central Asian countries, or advocating for the release of political prisoners with disabilities in Cuba, persons with disabilities need to have their voices heard. The United States will continue to advance disability rights and inclusion as an imperative to a secure and more prosperous world. Stay connected with the State Department:
