Blinken - who is often described as a “diplomat of diplomats - travels first to Latvia and then to Sweden, where Foreign Minister Ann Linde (S) will host the Osses (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) Foreign Ministers' Meeting on 2-3 December.
Linde is chairman of Osse.
Among those invited to the meeting are foreign ministers from North America, Europe and Central Asia, including Russia and the United States, the Foreign Ministry writes in a press release.
Ukraine and principles
Osse has 57 member countries.
The organization's agenda is mainly crises and conflicts in the OSCE region in particular, including that in and around Ukraine.
The migrant crisis at the Belarusian border is also likely to be addressed at next week's meeting.
In a statement, Linde says that "the common principles and commitments" that exist in Osse are now more important than ever to deal with challenges and prevent new crises and conflicts from arising.
During the blue and yellow presidency, Linde and her colleagues have also pressed for areas such as women's economic empowerment, climate and security to be prioritized.
Repairs relationships
Linde's colleague, the lawyer Antony Blinken, has a solid foreign policy CV inside the West.
Growing up in New York and Paris, between 2015 and 2017 he was Deputy Secretary of State to John Kerry, under President Barack Obama.
He was in the room when Obama followed the raids that took the life of al-Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden and he played an important role in the US handling of the Crimean crisis in 2014.
As President Joe Biden's Secretary of State, Blinken has primarily sought to repair the diplomatic relations that were severed by former President Donald Trump's more confrontational America first doctrine.
Among other things, he has played an important role in the United States' re-accession to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
