SECRETARY KERRY: Well, everybody, my apologies for being delayed, and I thank everybody for their patience and look forward to a very interesting and comprehensive discussion this evening. I want to begin by thanking Foreign Minister Lwin and the Government of Myanmar, which has done a very solid job of leading ASEAN as chair this year. And I also want to recognize our new A...
Well, good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the White House. Yay! (Applause.) See, I always have to loosen you guys up. You’re in the White House, you’re a little stiff. (Laughter.) But let me just take a moment to notice these nice chairs — pretty nice. This is a new addition to the luncheon, those of you who have been here. (Laughter.) This is – round of applause. ...
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Milwaukee! (Applause.) Thank you! Oh, it’s good to be back in Milwaukee. Give Chris a big round of applause for that great introduction. (Applause.) Happy Labor Day, everybody. Happy Labor Day. (Applause.) Today is a day that belongs to you –- the working men and women who make America the greatest country on Earth. So thank you to the working folks who...
Thank you, Headmaster. It is such a treat to be back here at St Andrew’s. I absolutely loved my time here; they were some of my happiest years, which makes it so incredibly special to be here today. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that when I had to leave, I told my mother that I was going to come back to be a teacher. While that didn’t quite happen, I was thrilled to have bee...
I want to update you about what the Government is doing to make our country as safe and secure as possible. Events in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere and the rise of violent extremism have reminded us that our country is not isolated from potential threats. We’ve all seen the horrific images: the beheadings, the crucifixions and the mass executions. Appallingly, at least 60 Austra...
Mr. Secretary-General, thank you for bringing us together today to address an urgent threat to the people of West Africa, but also a potential threat to the world. Dr. Chan, heads of state and government, especially our African partners, ladies and gentlemen: As we gather here today, the people of Liberia and Sierra Leone and Guinea are in crisis. As Secretary-General Ban an...
I am so proud to stand here today as Prime Minister of four nations in one United Kingdom. I was always clear about why we called that referendum. Duck the fight – and our union could have been taken apart bit by bit. Take it on – and we had the chance to settle the question. This Party has always confronted the big issues for the sake of our country. And now…England, Scotla...
I just wanted to touch base with all of you in the Department and USAID as we all together stop and think about September 11th. This is a tough day on the calendar for all of us, obviously, because it’s so much more than just any day on any calendar. None of us will ever forget where we were 13 years ago when we were attacked here at home and lost thousands of Americans, jus...
Good morning everybody. Angelina Jolie and I are delighted to welcome you to the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. We began campaigning, as you probably know, two years ago because we believe the time has come to end the use of rape in war once and for all, and we believe it can be done. We are convinced this is an issue of international peace and security, t...
Prime Minister, Mr President, Madam Speaker, Chief Justice, Leader of the Opposition, Ministers and Members of Parliament, members of the Diplomatic Corps, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen – thank you for your truly warm welcome. When Catherine and I arrived in Sydney last week, I said how much we had been looking forward to this visit. Drawing on my own experience...
Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your kind words and such a warm welcome. William and I are hugely excited to be in Malaysia – this, our first ever visit – and are absolutely delighted to have been invited to join you all here at Hospis Malaysia. It is so exciting to learn about the Country’s very first paediatric palliative care programme and to witness for myself someth...
MR. MORRISON: Well, thank you. Aloha. I want to welcome everyone. And for our online audience, and also for the Secretary, I’d like to describe who is here in our audience. We have the mayor of Honolulu, Mayor Caldwell. We have our senator, Mazie Hirono. We have our former governor, George Ariyoshi, and our other former governor, John Waihee. We have many members of the busi...
When NATO last met here in the UK in 1990, many would have hoped that its core aim would soon have been fulfilled. After the long years of the Cold War, the vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace seemed within our grasp. Yet today the protection and security that NATO provides is as vital to our future as it has ever been in our past. We face new and evolving dangers. T...
Thank you so much, Anders, thank you for the kind introduction. It is really a great honour to be elected as the next Secretary General of NATO, this unique Alliance. And I will do my utmost to live up to that honour and to follow the great example which you, Anders, have set over the past five years. Because you have shown strong leadership of the Alliance. And you have dev...
This Remembrance Day marks 96 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the Great War. The Great War was the crucible in which our nation’s identity was forged. From a population of under five million; 417,000 enlisted, 332,000 served overseas, 152,000 were wounded and 61,000 never came home. It was sacrifice on a stupendous scale. After the Armistice, we vowed never to...
I want to wish Eid Mubarak to all Muslims celebrating Eid and a safe journey to those now on Hajj. I know that many of you use this special time to reflect on what’s important to you in your lives: your family, your friends, your beliefs, your commitment to do the best you can for others. It’s also a time to think about sacrifice and struggle – and that is particularly poign...
To address this Conference is always an honour; to do so as Defence Secretary is a privilege. The first duty of government is to keep Britain safe. As a Party we can be proud that not only have we tackled the largest peacetime deficit but we have also sorted the defence budget. That’s because we have a Prime Minister who puts defence at the top of his priorities. And a Chanc...
Thank you very much. Good afternoon. It’s wonderful to have so many of you here, in particular to see all of the kids who have been able to join us today. Thank you all for being here. Thank you first of all to my introducer. Joe is not just a great member of our team but you should know that he really took up the work that Jim Flaherty and I had begun. He has worked very ha...
Your Eminence Cardinal O’Malley, Father President Leahy, Father Monan, Father Devino, members of the faculty, my fellow recipients of honorary degrees, parents, siblings, and the distinguished class of 2014: Congratulations to everybody here today. You know I thought I had a lot to worry about as I was listening to the introduction, between Afghanistan and Iran and so forth....
Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think Winston Churchill said the only reason people give a standing ovation is they desperately seek an excuse to shift their underwear. (Laughter.) So certainly before I’ve opened my mouth, that’s true. (Laughter.) Anyway, President Salovey and faculty members, parents, siblings who came here und...
