U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton: Moldova part of Obama Administration's human rights agenda for 21st century

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton recently held a speech at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. about the Obama Administration's human rights agenda for the 21st century.

In her remarks, the American official mentioned than Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine are part of this agenda:

"And when democratic change occurs, we cannot afford to become complacent. Instead, we have to continue reinforcing NGOs and the fledgling institutions of democracy. Young democracies like Liberia, East Timor, Moldova and Kosovo need our help to secure improvements in health, education and welfare. We must stay engaged to nurture democratic development in places like Ukraine and Georgia, which experienced democratic breakthroughs earlier this decade but have struggled to consolidate their democratic gains because of both internal and external factors."

The whole statement, including a video version, can be seen here.
