Terrorism cannot hold back man democrat manki mankinds efforts. Let me express my sympathy to the french people and my gratitude to president hollande and the french government for their meticulous preparations for this conference. This paris conference is convened to strengthening implementation of the u. N. Framework convention on Climate Change and bring about a comprehensive balanced ambitious and binding agreement on Climate Change. The french writer victor hugo once observed that strained resources spring from extreme resolutions. I believe that with all parties making joint efforts with sn sincerity and confidence, the paris conference will yield satisfying results. Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, the Paris Agreement should focus on strengthening post2020 global actions on Climate Change and boost global efforts to pursue Sustainable Development. The Paris Agreement should help meet the goals of the fcc and chart the course for green development. The agreement should foll
That bell being running, then i believe that as youre doing this in terms of leadership function, we run the risk of really losing an enterprise is that the United States essentially pioneered. In terms of another priority that i think youre starting to hear a little bit about, we have to put patients at the center of this. So if you look at the statistics we have 7,000 diseases. Yet, we have treatments for, i believe, dr. Collins, 500 of those. The system is doing its work. Its churning through the science and getting the outcomes to the doors of the fda. The fda is doing its work and then we get some approvals and we put that out into the system. But at the rate were going, i dont think that any of the diseases that were all going to be afflicted with at some point in time really stand a chance of being covered in the near term. So i think the speed issue thats been articulated by many of you is of critical importance. So i think as this group does its work, figuring out what are tho
They are calling a victory. We begin with those air strikes on targets held by the islamic state. There have been ten strikes in the last 24 hours. Those attacks the u. S. Says have controlled armed vehicles and control center held by the isil fighters. The latest targets control two areas in the eastern province. An area in the northeast has always been hit as well. And an oil refinery has been attacked again. That has been targeted several times since tuesday. Its clear they are going for these control and command centers and oil fields undermining isils ability to raise funds from oil. Undoubtedly these air strikes will weaken isil, like you mentioned. They are targeting their infrastructure, bases, headquarters, check points. Isil will no longer be able to travel in large convoys for example. But it is just going to weaken the group not defeat the group. To weaken the group you are going to need boots on the ground. These air strikes as well are not stopping the civil war which con
First strategy, but not an iraqonly one. Our Coalition Strikes this week demonstrate to isil that they have no safe haven in syria. Our targeted actions are disrupting isils communication and control, and in iraq were encouraging our iraqi partners to go back on the defensive. Were build a Sustainable Mission to set the stage for a broader International Campaign against isil. Our military actions are part of a comprehensive strategy that includes disrupting their financing, and exposing isils false narratives, in particular stripping away their cloak of religious legitimacy in which they hide. Were also facing pressing challenges in other regions. The Ebola Outbreak is the largest the world has ever seen. This is a complex emergency, beyond a Public Health crisis that has significant humanitarian, economic, political, and security dimensions. Were leveraging our militarys unique capabilities for logistics hubs, training, and engineering support. And as most of you know i just returned
