Vice President Joseph R. Biden addresses the Munich Conference

February 9th, 2009

At the 45th annual Munich Conference on Security Policy, Vice President Biden emphasizes the need for strong partnerships to meet common challenges that are facing the United States and its European allies. The conference examines the future of NATO and European security.

Vice President Biden says the United States will be guided in its foreign relations by the principle that there is no conflict between its security and its ideals — each reinforces the other.

It is the obligation of the international community “to listen to and learn from one another, and to work together for a common prosperity and security of all,” Biden said in a major foreign policy address February 7 to the Munich Conference on Security Policy.
