SECRETARY BLINKEN: Well, first of all, good to see all of my friends and colleagues. I think we’ll have an opportunity to speak to our colleagues from the media a little later this afternoon.

But I know we’ll have the chance to talk about all of that a little bit later. Heiko, it’s very good to see you.
FOREIGN MINISTER MAAS: Yes, thank you very much, Tony. And welcome to the most American part of Germany. Let me say it in German; I can assure you, only some friendly words.
