US foreign policy more than troops and drones: John Kerry
PTI: Washington, Jan 25 2013, 14:27 IST
top senator specialising in foreign affairs, Kerry has sat down with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, soothed nerves in Pakistan and visited the Gaza Strip, winning
the respect of fellow Democrats and Republicans alike.
In nominating him, Obama praised Kerry's record on foreign affairs.
"He is not going to need a lot of on-the-job training," Obama said last month, as Kerry stood next to him at the White House.
Kerry also vowed that the United States would work to stop Iran developing a nuclear weapon. He emphasised the continued need for diplomacy, but said there would be no policy of
containment.
"The president has made it definitive -- we will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
"I repeat here today: our policy is not containment. It is prevention and the clock is ticking on our efforts to secure responsible compliance."
