Secretary Clinton honored at USGLC dinner
On Monday night, several ONE staff and I attended a dinner hosted by the US Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) honoring Secretary Clinton for her extraordinary leadership. Clinton delivered a powerful speech about the importance of a balanced, smart power approach to foreign policy based on strengthened development and diplomacy tools. She stated that it has been her goal as the 67th Secretary of State to “make sure that diplomacy and development were elevated alongside a strong defense.”
She praised USGLC and others in the development community for advocating for a robust International Affairs budget and educating Americans about the importance of development and diplomacy. You can find the full transcript of her speech, photos from the event and media coverage here.
