Brief history of Consulate

The US Consulate General in Chengdu was established in 1985. Its first office is located on the West first floor of Jinjiang hotel. The consulate started with only six U.S. officials and about 29 local employees. At that time, there were only administrative offices (a consul general and an administrative assistant), a small office dealing with political, economic and commercial affairs, a consular office, a logistics office and a press and culture office.

In 1985, every office was in the charge of an American official. Compared with that year, today's consulate has grown to a total of more than 200 employees, of which about 150 are local Chinese employees. They are the main force of our daily work, and many of them have worked in the consulate for many years.

Americans here work relatively short hours, usually two to three years. They are all professional diplomats of the US foreign affairs department. They are required to work in Chengdu. More and more US officials can speak Chinese, which also reflects the general trend of the whole world and the most important bilateral relations in the world mentioned by the US government.

The US consulate has set up different departments according to different fields, such as the political department, the economic department, the visa department, the news and Culture Department, as well as the agricultural trade department and the commercial department. Administration and security
