WikiLeaks will not hit foreign policy: Clinton

WASHINGTON, DEC 1
The embarrassing leak of secret American diplomatic cable, revealing the secrets of US diplomacy, would not have any impact on the country’s foreign policy, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today.
“I have had the opportunity to meet with many leaders here at the summit in Astana. We have talked about many important issues, and the work that we are doing together to solve global problems,” Clinton told reporters at a news conference at in Astana, Kazakhstan.
 I have certainly raised the issue of the leaks in order to assure our colleagues that it will not in any way interfere with American diplomacy or our commitment to continuing important work that is ongoing, she said.
“I have not had any concerns expressed about whether any nation will not continue to work with and discuss matters of importance to us both, going forward,” she said.
I am proud of the work that American diplomats do, and the role that America plays in the world and both President Barack Obama and I are committed to a robust and comprehensive agenda of engagement.
“It’s one of the reasons that I am here in Astana at the OSCE Summit, she said.
I am confident that the work that our diplomats do every single day will go forward. And I anticipate that there will be a lot of questions that people have every right and reason to ask, and we stand ready to discuss them at any time with our counterparts around the world,” Clinton said.
