Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just arrived at the State Department in Foggy Bottom where she addressed her staff of over a hundred. During her remarks, she commented on the Obama Administration’s plans for global development which Obama himself touched on during his inaugural address.

Here’s a clip of her comments on “defense, diplomacy, and development.” (Transcript below.)

President Obama set the tone with his inaugural address, and the work of the Obama-Biden Administration is committed to advancing America’s national security, furthering America’s interests, and respecting and exemplifying America’s values around the world. There are three legs to the stool of American foreign policy: defense, diplomacy, and development, and we are responsible for two of the three legs. We will make clear, as we go forward, that diplomacy and development are essential tools in achieving the long-term objectives of the United States, and I will do all that I can, working with you, to make it abundantly clear that robust diplomacy and effective development are the best long-term tools for securing America’s future.
