Clintons share stage, kiss during global initiative event
Posted by doris in Conference, Farmers, Government, Statements“I want to begin by expressing my extreme indebtedness to the Clinton Global Initiative, to all of you who participated, for giving me the first chance I have had in a week to see Hillary,” Bill Clinton told the audience of social activists and business leaders at the closing session of CGI, a week-long conference designed to find solutions to global problems through public and private partnerships.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was at the session to unveil a new State Department initiative on food security.
As he introduced her, the former president was effusive in his praise for his wife, saying that her approach to food security — helping farmers around the world grow their own food to earn income and alleviate poverty — was much smarter than the decades-long policy of simply giving humanitarian aid and food to countries.
