This year, @EmbaCubaUS participated, for the first time, in Passport DC. It was a great experience and opportunity to show the people of the U.S. that #Cuba is open for business and to receive them as the welcoming people that we are.

Today, our Embassy proudly participated in the highly successful Passport DC event from 9am to 4pm, welcoming nearly 2,500 visitors to experience the rich #culture and #heritage of #Eritrea. Guests enjoyed authentic Eritrean cuisine, a traditional coffee ceremony, historical exhibitions, music, and received QR code cards to learn more about Eritrea through our website. The event brought together mostly #Americans, along with many other #international visitors, all eager to discover and learn more about Eritrea. A wonderful day of cultural exchange, friendship, and connection. We were also honored to welcome Eritrean-American comedian and actress #Tiffany #Haddish along with her crew, Kimberly Bassett Washington DC Secretary, and Jan Du Plain the liaison of the over 190 Embassies, who visited the Embassy today added to the spirit of this special occasion. This success was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the Embassy staff in close coordination with the vibrant #Eritrean #community in the #Washington, DC area. We cannot thank our community enough for the hard work they rendered with passion, commitment, and deep patriotism in making this event a memorable success. #PassportDC #Eritrea #CulturalDiplomacy

#Burundi-#USA: Lors de l’édition 2026 de #PassportDC, organisée à parti du 2 mai à #Washington, la participation du #Burundi a été marquée par la présence des Tambourinaires, dont les prestations ont attiré un large public. Deux représentations, à 13h00 puis à 15h45, ont suscité un vif intérêt, de nombreux visiteurs exprimant leur enthousiasme pour cet art traditionnel emblématique. Plusieurs membres de la #diaspora #burundaise installés aux États Unis avaient fait le déplacement pour soutenir les tambourinaires et renouer avec une expression culturelle qui suscite souvent une forte nostalgie. À l’issue de la dernière prestation, un moment inattendu a rassemblé les Burundais présents : l’hymne national « BURUNDI BWACU » a été entonné spontanément par un participant, #VénusteNdikumwenayo, et repris collectivement dans une atmosphère de #respect et d’#unité. Cet épisode s’inscrit dans la continuité des engagements publics évoqués en février 2026 par l'Ambassadeur du #Burundi à #Washington, @BoscoBarege1 dans l’interview « Burundi Is Ready » accordé au magazine americain @Diplo_Watch au mois de février, où la perspective d’échanges culturels renforcés entre le #Burundi et les #ÉtatsUnis avait été mise en avant. L’événement de #Washington a ainsi offert une vitrine significative du patrimoine culturel burundais auprès d’un public international. @NtareHouse @BurundiEmbUSA @MAEBurundi @MinJSCBdi @washingtondc @TheEventsDC @ECAatState @US_Emb_Burundi
