- 8 Dec 2010 12:00 AM
The White House has already announced that every department of the U.S. Government , including the State Department is now taking additional steps to further safeguard our sensitive information.
Diplomacy is contingent upon being able to have an open and honest dialogue where views are exchanged. That is what I do with my interlocutors here in Hungary as does my embassy staff, and as do diplomats from other nations in Budapest, Washington and other capitals around the world. It is our job to understand Hungary, its people, its views, its thoughts, its beliefs, its concerns and provide that information to those people in Washington who make policy decisions. It is only through understanding and knowing each other that we can avoid misunderstandings and achieve our common objectives.
Hungary is our friend and ally. We share the same values, interests and goals. We benefit by working together to face global challenges; our security and economic well-being are tied together. The U.S. deeply values its friendship with Hungary, and I am committed to working with all Hungarians to maintain and further advance our partnership."
