Closing Remarks at African Growth and Opportunity Forum

Remarks
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of StateMulungushi International Conference Center

Lusaka, Zambia

June 10, 2011

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECRETARY CLINTON: If I didn~{!/~}t know any better, Minister Mutati, I~{!/~}d say that you have a future in preaching. (Laughter.) My goodness, I thought he was going to take up a collection. (Laughter. Applause.)

But I certainly agree with the message. It is the Africa AGOA Act. It is meant to stimulate all of the activities that the minister was referencing. And it is, for me, a great pleasure once again to address the AGOA forum. I~{!/~}m delighted that you~{!/~}ve already heard from the leader of our trade efforts in the United States, Ambassador Ron Kirk. And from what I heard from the minister, Ron has already made every commitment that could be made. (Laughter. Applause.) So in the spirit of preaching, I~{!/~}m really saying amen. (Laughter. Applause.)

It is wonderful to be here in Lusaka for this forum. I had such a good time when I went to Nairobi in 2009, and there was some dancing there, as I remember. In fact, everybody else looked great dancing, and then there~{!/~}s me. (Laughter.) And apparently, it was all over Kenyan television, and I got all these emails saying, ~{!0~}Are you alright?~{!1~} (Laughter.) I said, ~{!0~}More than.~{!1~}

And then last year, we were very proud to host the forum in Washington and in Kansas City. And now here we are in Lusaka. Now, I can imagine that sometimes it feels like Kansas City and Lusaka might be worlds apart, but the whole goal of this forum is to shrink that distance, to create those networks and those relationships ...

Remarks to Participants in the African Women's Entrepreneurship Program

Remarks
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of StateMulungushi International Conference Centre
Lusaka, Zambia

June 10, 2011

I am so happy to be here. And so happy to see all of you here as well, and thank you so much, Mrs. Banda, for those very important words and for the kind introduction and for supporting this exceptional program.

We are so pleased to be launching the Zambian Chapter of AWEP, which stands for African Women’s Entrepreneurship Program. And we know that many people have contributed to this beginning so successfully here in Zambia, and I want to thank Sylvia Banda, who has been at the heart of this effort from the very beginning. I also want to thank my team, led by Ambassador Melanne Verveer.

I notice there are a few familiar faces from when we met last summer in Washington, so it is good to see you again and it is good to see everyone here, who is committed to really empowering women entrepreneurs throughout Africa.

Now, at meetings – (applause) – at meetings like this one of the AGOA forum, we hear a lot of ideas tossed around. But I think the very best ideas come from the people who are actually starting and running the businesses in Africa. And I know very well that many women throughout Africa are businesswomen who face obstacles, who persevere, who persist against those obstacles. And we want to help you, so I’m thrilled that AWEP has gained so much momentum and signed up so many new members.

In my speech in a few minutes, I’m going to speak specifically about what we can do and why we need to make it easier for women to start and grow your businesses. I’m also going to talk about you, if you don’t mind. I want to make sure everyone here, all the commerce ministers, the trade and industry ministers, the prime ministers, everyone, knows how important your work is.

And I’m going to announce in a few minutes that the United States will continue to support AWEP. Last year’s event in Washington was such a success – (applause) – and again this year in Lusaka. We are going to have a commitment that I will announce in order to help you exchange ideas, learn from each other, support each other. I understand the Zambian women are hosting their sisters from other countries, and we want a network of women entrepreneurs across Africa, because I am convinced we will raise the incomes and the standards of living of people throughout the continent because of what you do.

And I’ll have some examples of that in my formal remarks, but I wanted to come and just thank you, to see you again, and to wish all of you well, but to express great appreciation on behalf of the United States for what you do every day to help people have a better life. That’s what it’s all about. Business is not an end in itself, it is a means to an end, to be able to educate children, to be able to have a better home, to be able to provide healthcare, to build economies and create more opportunities. And you are living examples of that.

Thank you for showing me some of the – (applause) – products that you have produced, and let’s go out singing as I leave to go to the AGOA forum, because that always puts me in a great mood when I hear African women sing. (Laughter.) Thank you all and God bless you. (Applause.)

The planning and implementing of Taiwan Gaming & Entertainment Summit 2007 are contributing to the cooperation and development on tourism of Nevada and Taiwan. It has responded to the ideal that, "Our missions open doors for Nevada's No. 1 industry with influential Asian businesses and officials and give us an opportunity to 'sell' our attractions and draw more visitors from Asia to our state" by Nevada’s Lieutenant Governor Brian K. Krolicki. In the silver state, Brian is Chairman of the Commission on Economic Development (NCED) and Chairman of the Commission on Tourism (NCOT). He is also Honorary Chairman of the Advisory Board of International Cities Business Council (ICBC).*1

According to the news from Taipei, the Summit will be held by Representative Office in Taiwan of Nevada Commission on Economic Development, NCED, Chinese Cultural University, and Asia Management Research Center on August 27, 2007 in Taipei.

"The Asia recent economic prosperity and Industry paradigm shift makes each countries speed up tourism development and promotion, even open the policy of Gaming as the leading wagon to attract more tourists. UNLV is the worldwide No 1 university in Hotel, Gaming, beverage, Exhibition. I was invited by Nevada State office on economic development to Taiwan. Hopefully, I can share our specialties and successful experience and contribute to Taiwan's current planning on doubles up tourism policy," said Dr. Stuart H. Mann, Dean of UNLV College of Hotel Administration.*2

As to the question on what is the Key success Factors to well developing the gaming & entertainment industry, Dr. Mann pointed out that, "I would suggest as following categories: Funding -- Since the Investment amount is huge, you need visionary investors who knows this market. As a matter of fact, there are over 33 Billions US$ international Gaming funding from Las Vegas top 4 gaming groups and Europe, Arabic, ­etc. invested in Asia. They show highly interest in Taiwan's market. Know How -- UNLV is the world no 1 experienced and knowledgeable on Casino Management. It is us who created the miracle of Las Vegas, other categories such as Gaming, Master-planned development of integrated resort Casio, exhibition & Conference, Government Tax.. each represents an important factor and specialties which is very important directly contribute to business success. I am very happy that now we cooperate with Chinese Cultural University to provide the courses and certificate to incubating knowledge people to catch up Asia coming tide. Proven track record -- Nevada-Based Company help establishing Asia recent resort & Gaming market booming like Singapore, Macau, Xuhai ..etc. The ongoing project are Dubai, Japan (Okinawa). Authority Content -- The lottery program been successful in Taiwan, there will be Sports lottery coming in next year. It is much more complicated and exciting gaming, but you need well established and authority Sports books professionals system on sports bet, NBA¡¢NFL¡¢Horses, tennis, etc. Technology for future -- New Technology gadget make our daily life much more easier and fun, Multi-channel, Multi platform technology, turn-key B2B, cooperate with 3rd parties include: Mobile operators, on-line gaming operators, Casio loyalty services. I will describe much more detailed in the coming TGES 2007 which will be held in 27/aug/2007 Monday. I will be very happy to meet you in that conference. Thank you." *3

Dr. Stuart H. Mann will deliver a keynote speech to the Gaming & Entertainment Summit 2007 in Taipei. He is one of the Directors of ICBC.

"The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Lorraine Hunt, former Lt. Governor of Nevada.*4

"we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy." *5

The International Cities Business Council (ICBC) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) strives to build a bridge among important cities nationally and internationally. ICBC has set its main goal on "Mutual cooperation and development of business, trade, and tourism among international cities."

Lorraine Hunt has been Honorary Chairperson of ICBC since 1998. To win over her experience and caliber on tourism, she has also been invited by Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki as a Commissioner of NCOT soon after he took office early this year.

"It's really a challenge to me! Lots of my job are related to have a function on the basis of international perspective. Through this professional and practical venue, I'll put all my effort and talent to implement the missions for the promotion of the economic and trade cooperation and development among cities of Nevada, China, Taiwan, Macau, and other Pacific & Asian countries," said Miss Charlyne Chen, Chairperson of the ICBC of WBTI. Accomplishment is proved to be a journey with united and harmonious efforts. The ingenuity and ability from its Vice Presidents Attorney Xiaosheng Huang and Miss Yin Yan are important. Charlyne is also the Trade Representative in Taiwan of Nevada Commission on Economic Development.

The following are a few of the many news reports in Chinese about the coming 'Gaming & Entertainment Summit 2007' in Taipei:

"As the Hononary Chairperson of International Cities Business Council of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), I'll have more venues to work for international tourism with Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn (now Jim Gibbons) who is the Chairman of the Advisory Board of WBTI. We're putting all our effort and wisdom to work for our people, land, and country under the spiritual leadership of Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Lorraine Hunt, former Lt. Governor of Nevada and now Commissioner of Nevada Commission on Tourism (NCOT).

The 2007 Nevada Governor's Conference on Tourism will be an annual significant event for the interest of many people, businesses, and countries. It will be held on December 12-14 this year in Las Vegas. In the General Assembly, we shall have Jim Gibbons, Governor, State of Nevada; Introduction by: Commissioner Lorraine T. Hunt-Bono; Brian K. Krolicki, Lieutenant Governor, State of Nevada; and the topic on Growth: Challenges and Opportunities. WBTI has assisted to publicize the conference for many years. Governor Jim Gibbons of Nevada is now Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

"With Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki as our Chairman of the Advisory Board of ICBC, WBTI will be more powered to assist the economic development and tourism of Nevada," said Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber who is one of the Advisors of the Board. The sky is beautiful in this silver state.*10 Nevada is the spring fountain of world business in entertainment, gaming, and tourism!

Hello Friend,

A few hours after the tornadoes ripped through western Massachusetts, I almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing with my own two eyes in front of me: homes ripped apart, schools and businesses so badly damaged they would be condemned just days later, and, worst of all, Mayor Gibson and Police Chief Burke of West Springfield describing to me the injuries and loss of life, including a mother, Angelica Guerrero, who was killed protecting her daughter. It shook all of us to our core.

When I walked into a shelter around midnight that night, people were looking at cellphone pictures of the wreckage where their homes had stood just hours before, and many were trying to explain to their young children how something like this could happen. I arrived at Union Street in West Springfield hours after the tornado to find it completely destroyed, buildings demolished and houses literally tossed on top of other buildings.

But I was also struck by how quickly everyone was swinging into action to help neighbors and strangers with whom we all now share an unbreakable bond. At a church on Main Street in Monson, there’s a location where people can drop off supplies ?food, diapers, clothing ?and the pile of donated items is growing all the time. On the morning after the tornado, I visited the statewide command center for the response, and I saw an amazing sight, one I’ll always remember: a line of emergency vehicles from nearly every town and city in the state, a line stretching over a mile, all volunteering to help, proof of the state’s commitment to pull together for each other.

And I’ve also been warmed to hear so many people ask: “what can we do to help ?to rebuild??
The answer is, there’s something for each of us to do ?and today I’m asking you ?no matter where you live ?to please contribute to the Red Cross of Central and Western Massachusetts. You can choose any of the four areas the Red Cross serves in the region; they all need your help.

They are on the ground now ?just as they were moments after the tornadoes ?helping people find shelter, clothing, helping with treatment of people who were injured ?doing anything needed to help people rebuild. Your donation will help them do this vital work. So please give right now.

It’s hard to put into words what I saw on the ground. The Munger Hill Elementary School was almost completely destroyed. I walked through Monson, and saw the church ?founded in 1762?with its beautiful steeple toppled to the ground.

We have a long way to go ?but we will rebuild ?and we will come back stronger. I’ll be back again and again, but even while all of us in Massachusetts are working with state and federal officials to get relief delivered right away, I hope you’ll help me send a message back home that all of us ?all the millions of folks on this email list from around the country ?are pulling together.

Thanks so much,

John Kerry
