The worlds great civilizations, a strong resilient determined and prosperous nation. It is also a nation forged in the commitment that we will never allow the horrors and atrocities of the last century to be repeated. Now, let us Work Together to build a future where the nations of the region are at peace and all of our children can grow and grow up strong and grow up free from terrorism and violence. During my travels in recent days, i have found new reasons for hope. I have just concluded a visit to saudi arabia where yesterday i met with king salman and with the leaders from across the muslim and arab world and that visit we reached historic agreements to pursue greater and greater cooperation in the fight against terrorism and its evil ideology. My future travels will take me to visit pope francis at the vatican and then our nato and european allies. We have before us a rare opportunity to bring security and stability and peace to this region and to its people, defeating terrorism
