Unscramble the Blue Letters
Don't get confused of the progress of the emerging eineoomcs and the garet capacity of people in the middle income countries and in peaceful low iomnce creutions. There is still mystery in one billion. And we have to have more ccepntos than just developing countries and developing world. We need a new mindset. The world is converging, but — but — but not the bottom billion. They are still as poor as they've ever been. It's not sustainable, and it will not happen around one superpower. But you will remain one of the most important superpowers, and the most hopeful serouewppr, for the time to be. And this institution will have a very crucial role, not for United States, but for the wrold. So you have a very bad name, State Department. This is not the State Department. It's the World Department. And we have a high hope in you. Thank you very much. (Applause)

And this institution will have a very crucial role, not for United States, but for the world. So you have a very bad name, State Department. This is not the State Department.
