Since 1940, the Québec Government Office in New York (DGQNY) has played a central role in promoting and showcasing the province in the United States. Located in the heart of Manhattan, it has worked for 85 years to strengthen ties between Québec and the Mid-Atlantic states — a key economic and strategic partner.

Over the decades, the Office has multiplied its initiatives:

  • High-level diplomatic meetings,
  • Innovative economic projects,
  • Landmark cultural exchanges,
  • Strategic partnerships in key sectors.

These efforts have helped position Québec as a major player in the economic, cultural, political, and environmental spheres, while reinforcing cross-border cooperation.

Today, DGQNY’s cultural, political, and economic archives bear witness to this rich history: historic moments that reflect the diversity and depth of the ties between Québec and its American neighbors.
