The former U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry will be an inaugural visiting distinguished statesman at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the press service of Carnegie informs.

"John Kerry’s lifelong commitment to international peace and understanding embodies the mission and purpose of the Carnegie Endowment," said Carnegie President William J. Burns. "His experience, wisdom, and belief in the power of diplomacy are needed now more than ever."

"The Carnegie Endowment is synonymous with serious, substantive, strategic work toward peace and progress, informed always by independent, non-partisan analysis. I am excited to be working with Carnegie to continue the pursuit of fresh answers to vexing problems both new and old," said Secretary Kerry. "I’m particularly looking forward to working again with Ambassador Bill Burns, whom I respected so much for so many years when we served together in government."

At the Carnegie Endowment, Secretary Kerry will focus on conflict resolution and global environmental challenges, and will both draw on and contribute to the efforts of Carnegie’s 100 scholars in 20 countries to tackle the central issues of our time.
