SPEAKER: SECRETARY OF STATE CONDOLEEZZA RICE
QUESTION: Madame Secretary, what are you doing to help with the
financial crisis
RICE: The President and Secretary Paulson are obviously leading this
very important effort, but there's an international aspect, and I am
doing what I can to help out.
And the Forum for the Future is a very important event that will take
place. Deputy Secretary Negroponte is going to represent us at the
Forum. And I have just spoken with my colleague from the UAE and I
am looking forward to hearing back from Secretary Negroponte and I am
disappointed that I cannot go. It is always a great event, the Forum
for the Future, because it really looks to the non-governmental sector
in particular to push the efforts at reform throughout the Middle East.
Thank you.
MCCORMACK: Thanks, guys.
QUESTION: How would you estimate U.S.-Armenian relations developing?
RICE: Well, we are going to talk about that today. And the United
States and Armenia, of course, have good relations. We are working
on a number of issues. We were very pleased to see that the visit of
President Gul to Armenia went very well, and look forward to continuing
to work on issues of common interest.
Thank you.
QUESTION: Will you talk about Nagorno-Karabakh?
RICE: Certainly, we will. Thank you.
