Mid-month she was off for extensive travel to Turkey, Greece, India, Indonesia and China. She delivered remarks at the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). She was stunning on a visit to the Patriarchy in Istanbul, and she stopped by an Istanbul TV set for an informal interview where two kitty-cats could not resist her magnetism. Next it was wheels-down Athens and a visit to the Acropolis Museum that yielded still more beautiful images.
From Athens, she flew to New Delhi and meetings with Sonia Gandhi, FM Krishna, and PM Singh. She delivered remarks at the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue and the Working Women’s Forum, and it was wheels up New Delhi, and wheels down Bali where she attended the ASEAN Conference and U.S.-Lower Mekong Ministerial Meeting delivering opening remarks at both.
Then it was wheels up Bali and wheels down Hong Kong where she delivered a Principles for Prosperity address. On the 27th she was back in DC to a full schedule. At USAID’s Saving Lives at Birth Development Exchange Awards Ceremony, she delivered and address: “77 Inventions That Could Save Moms and Babies.” Finally, she visited the Norwegian Embassy to sign the guest book for all of us in the wake of the horrific shootings at a camp there, and July 2011 was history.
