We must defend and uphold the commitments made in Helsinki 40 years ago.

Sandy was a remarkable man -- incredibly funny, warm, passionate, brilliant, and unfailingly loyal.

Together, we can faithfully implement our shared Helsinki commitments and help forge an ever better future for all.

The United States looks forward to continuing to partner with the people and government of Burkina Faso.

I appreciate very much the meeting.

We recognize that delaying action on climate change will be costly in economic and human terms.

Turkey is a NATO ally.
