John Gorkowski

John Gorkowski has taken over from Byron Tsao as Mongolia Desk Officer at the US Department of State in Washington, DC, after Byron was selected for a prestigious exchange program with the Japanese Foreign Ministry.

"John came to the Mongolia Desk in July 2010 after two years on the Kyrgyzstan Desk where he handled issues related to the Manas Transit Center. His previous overseas tours include: China, India and Poland. His work on the Community of Democracies in Poland and his experience of China make John uniquely qualified to work on Mongolia at this time."
