Ambassador William R. Timken, Jr., made his initial call on Saxon Minister-President Georg Milbradt in the framework of a two-day visit. His agenda also included a discussion with local political representatives, which produced valuable insights into the debate about future German government constellations – particularly in view of the postponed Bundestag vote in Dresden’s voting district I on October 2. In addition, Ambassador Timken visited AMD, the largest U.S. investor in the state of Saxony, and met with a group of teachers, who reflected on their experiences as participants in the Eastern German Teachers Visitor Program. Ambassador Timken's wife Sue Timken and his daughter Fran Karsh visited the porcelain factory in Meißen.
