The State Department has international posts…and something called “Virtual Presence Posts.” The program helps the Department work with key cities, regions, and countries without an American embassy or consulate building. The state department website says that most of their Virtual Presence Posts have their own online sites. That way, diplomats have a choice of travel, public outreach programs, media events, or online webchats to create a “virtual” presence to connect with local populations.
