Hillary declares 'new era' for America

AFP, Washington
Hillary Clinton took charge Thursday of US foreign policy proclaiming a "new era for America" based on robust diplomacy and a fresh unity of purpose.
"I believe with all my heart that this is a new era for America," a beaming Hillary told a welcoming party of hundreds at the State Department following her Senate confirmation Wednesday as the 67th secre-taryofstate.
Hillary, the wife of former US president Bill Clinton, faces unfinished wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the troubled Middle East peace process, climate change, conflicts in Africa and efforts to revamp a tarnished US image.
"I think this is a time of such potential and possibility. I don't get up in the morning just thinking about the threats and the dangers, as reai as they are. I also think what we can do, "said Hillary.

top diplomats and leaders overseas. One was to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, after a similar call Wednesday by President Barack Obama, an Abbas spokesman said.
Hillary also sought to boost the role of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) which aims to use aid to advance foreign policy goals -- something her predecessor Condoleezza Rice had been accused of neglecting.
" 1 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 security America s future," said Hillary, who supervises USAID.
The 61-year-old former US first lady and former New York senator drew massive applause when she informed the crowd that Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will visit the State Department onThursday.
We want to send a clear and unequivocal message: This is a team, and you are members of that team," said Clinton, who narrowly lost to Obama in a bitter campaign to be the Democratic Party’s candidate for president.
Neither Hillary nor Obama can make progress on foreign policy "unless we make clear we are all on the American team, " she said.
"We are not any longer Eto tolerate the kind of veness that has paralysed and undermineu our ability to get things done for America." she said, alluding to troubles in the Bush administration.
