MARRAKESH, Morocco, Nov 3 (Reuters) – The United States will deliver on President Barack Obama’s promise of a “new start” with the world’s Muslims, offering fresh programmes to promote entrepreneurship, economic development and education, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday.
Clinton, speaking to a development forum in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, said the programmes would also aim to encourage scientific and technical collaboration, women’s empowerment and cooperation between faiths.
