President Obama’s Cairo Address: A New Beginning
June 4, 2009. The U.S. Embassy welcomed a diverse German and American audience of students, journalists, politicians, and community leaders on Thursday, June 4 to watch President Obama’s speech to the Muslim world from Cairo, Egypt. Chargé d'Affaires a.i. John Koenig welcomed the audience, who watched the speech live in English and German. Afterwards, Minister-Counselor for Public Affairs Dr. Helena Kane Finn led a discussion with the guests on their impressions of the speech and what it will mean for American engagement with the Muslim world. The questioning indicated a strongly positive response from both American and German guests, including our Muslim contacts. The speech outlined ways that the United States and Muslim communities around the world can bridge some of the differences that have divided them, as well as exploring new areas for partnership going forward that serve the mutual interests of our people.
