U.S.-EU Seminar on Preventing Violent Extremism. Remarks by Ambassador Kennard – Excerpt 2
The First Joint U.S.-EU Seminar on Preventing Violent Extremism was held in Brussels on June 16-17, 2010.
“This gathering is the culmination of many months of discussions, planning and hard work by representatives of the United States and the European Union. I am delighted that this day has finally arrived. I am particularly gratified that the conference has attracted participants from many departments and agencies of my government, including the White House National Security Council, the Departments of Justice, State and Homeland Security, the FBI, our military joint commands, and the United States Agency for International Development. They are joined by Representatives from civil society, academia, and local law enforcement in the United States. The depth and variety of participants from the European Union is equally impressive. I thank all of the organizers, particularly my colleague Joe Pomper from the U.S. Mission to the European Union, for bringing this group together on a topic of vital importance to all of us. We are all here today to learn from one another, to share the experiences that we bring from around the world.” said U.S. Ambassador to the EU, William E. Kennard, in his remarks on June 16.
