Posted Monday 29 November, 12:13 Bahrain time
The IISS is now in a position to confirm that United States’ Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will deliver a Special Address to the 2010 Manama Dialogue.
IISS Director-General Dr John Chipman commented this morning: ‘US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s decision to address the IISS Manama Dialogue in Bahrain on 3 December, to be attended by ministers and senior officials from some 25 countries, confirms the Manama Dialogue as an essential pillar of the diplomatic and security architecture of the region. The GCC states and their immediate neighbours, meeting with Asians, Europeans and North Americans have a special opportunity in Manama to consult on the pressing security issues of the day. Hillary Clinton’s opening remarks will attract huge attention and will help to encourage the frank dialogue that the Manama Dialogue is there to promote.’
