FOREIGN MINISTER STUBB: Thank you very much. Thanks, Hillary, and thanks for the invitation. I’m really happy to be here. I’m just back from Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey – probably some of the issues that we’ll be discussing today. We’ll probably also talk about Russia. The U.S. has always been very close to my heart, not least because I’ve studied here for many years, and a very close ally, as Hillary said. And if the negotiations get tough, I’ll put on my southern drawl and we’ll get everything through, no problem. (Laughter.)
