The Boeing C-32 exterior, a variant of the 757, is the usual transportation for the Secretary of State of the United States, currently Antony Blinken

This is a list of international visits undertaken by the secretaries of state of the United States. The list includes both private travel and official state visits. The list includes only foreign travel which the secretaries of state have made during their tenure in the position. [1]

The first secretary of state who made a trip abroad was William H. Seward, who visited the Danish West Indies in 1866. In the early years, most secretary of state visits took place in the North, Central, and South American countries and in the Caribbean. John Hay was the first secretary of state to visit Europe. Philander C. Knox was the first to go to Asia. Cordell Hull was the first to go to Africa. Dean Rusk was the first to go to Oceania. John Kerry was the first to complete all 7 continents by visiting Antarctica
