[Ambassador Noah Mamet:] Hola, Argentina! Mi nombre es Noah Mamet y estoy a la vez honrado y emocionado por ser el nuevo embajador de los Estados Unidos en Argentina. [TEXT: Noah Mamet U.S. Ambassador to Argentina] I grew up in the small town of Manhattan Beach, near Los Angeles, California. Like so many of you, my family loved talking about politics and sports. My father was a well-known soccer, or I should say “fútbol, ” coach, even helping my youth team to win the California state championship. My mom, Millie, was very proud of us. For over 20 years, I have worked with prominent government, business and philanthropic leaders, connecting people to achieve lasting results. The friendship and collaboration between Argentina and the United States goes back nearly 200 years, and as ambassador, I look forward to working together with the people and government of Argentina on important issues like energy, environmental protection, health and, in particular, educational exchanges. Back home in California, I spent many years working to better our public schools, while at the same time building a successful company that advises businesses and foundations. I’m a firm believer that the best outcomes happen when people work together towards common objectives and shared interests. I hope to deepen our cooperation in science and clean energy technology as we strengthen strategic alliances to increase trade and investment. I feel privileged and thrilled to get the chance to work with you and look forward to experiencing your vibrant culture and wonderful traditions. Chau y hasta pronto.
