The “Spouses of the Ambassadors of the EU Diplomatic Missions to the US” exhibition hosted at the Embassy of the Czech Republic focused on the spouses, who support their loved ones in their diplomatic careers by assuming special roles themselves in order to represent their respective European Union (EU) member states. As their dedication to building partnerships among nations is not always visible at first sight, the exhibition recognized the essential role these spouses serve within the diplomatic community.
