  • The 2011 US Japan Council Annual Conference

    Blog Images - Hillary Clinton-2

    J-AID attends "The 2011 US Japan Council Annual Conference"
    in Washington D.C.
    October 6-8, 2011.

    This year's keynote speaker was Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    “Our strongest relationships have not lived only in the halls of power; they live in the hearts and minds of the American and Japanese people not just in some cold assessment of our common interests, but in the warmth of common experiences, family ties, friendships, and the common values that bind us together,” said Clinton.

    “Ten years ago, as a Senator from New York, I saw firsthand what our friendship meant,” she continued. “When Japan sent firefighters from 7,000 miles away to help with the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, I was moved, but I wasn’t surprised. That’s just the kind of friend that Japan is to America and to many countries around the world.”
