... Russia has expressed its intent to help Haiti restore political stability. Mr. Lenderking yesterday said in his TV interview that Iran is playing a negative role in Yemen by backing the Houthis. And with that, I’ll take one final question from Hiba Nasr. MS PORTER: Well, I’ll just say that we believe it’s critical for Israel and the Palestinian Authority to refrain from unilateral steps that exacerbate tensions and undercut efforts to advance a negotiated two-state solution, such as annexation of territory, settlement activity, demolitions, incitement to violence, and providing compensation for individuals imprisoned for acts of terrorism. Washington, DC. Let’s go to the line of Francesco Fontemaggi. MS PORTER:  Thank you, Cindy. You can also send an email to the State Department. Please, go ahead. JAPAN/CHINA/REGION.

MS PORTER: So I wouldn’t want to get ahead of the President, but I will say that we haven’t made any decisions about our posture in Afghanistan after May 1. And just to reiterate what Special Envoy Lenderking and what we’re doing in Yemen, we’ll just say that, again, this administration is – has made a priority of ending this awful war in Yemen. MS PORTER:  We don’t have anything to comment any further on that. And I’m just wondering if you guys have gotten that request – apparently, it was sent to Ambassador Tueller – and if you have gotten it, if you have anything to say about it. March 23, 2021.

Do you have any updates on exporting of vaccines, whether it’s Mexico, Canada, or anywhere else in the world that the U.S. is considering or may be doing that I’m just missing? On yesterday, though, you did say, according to the transcript, that Zal was going to go to this Afghan conference in Moscow. The U.S. is now about a quarter of the world’s production but pretty much zero percent of the export. Next we’ll go to the line of Cindy Saine. Secondly, to your question on how we’ll approach Africa when it comes to competing with China and Russia, I can’t underscore enough that we will always come from a posture of strength when it comes to that. I’m going to start off with a statement on travel of Secretary Clinton. MS PORTER: Thank you for your questions. Or is the Moscow conference going to be the main deal? I would like to know what your intentions are and what would you like to gain from this. And the other is China is providing vaccines to a number of countries in Latin America, and some experts are worried that with the U.S. not doing so, that this could give China a so-called boost in so-called vaccine diplomacy.

But again, we’ll have to wait till President Biden makes his announcement from – directly from himself. COUNTERTERRORISM. Yes, I can hear you. I know I asked about this before and you guys had no comment, but I’m surprised that you have no comment, because if there’s anyone who is likely to travel and meet with the Americans and so on, whether – at any point, would be this foreign minister, Riyad Maliki. So there – these comments from Kim Yo-jong that came after the administration said that North Korea hasn’t been responding to requests to talk. Secondly, after the Secretary’s tweets last night about having spoken with Senator Coons about his trip, the senator’s trip to Ethiopia, I’m wondering if you guys have anything more to say about that.

But anyway, neither here nor there. The Secretary looks forward to his additional meetings and engagements today, as well as to his meetings tomorrow and Thursday with European Union and Belgian Government leaders.

OPERATOR:  Your line is open.

But President Biden has pledged that the United States would play a “significant role” in assisting Canada with securing the release of the two Michaels. MS PORTER: Hi. Thank you.

He’s met with President Ghani, Chairman Abdullah, as well as a wide range of political leaders, all who are critical in this entire peace process. from UN Department of Global Communications. I’ll start off by saying we can definitely take your question in regards to Senator Coons and his visit to Ethiopia. And that’s all we have on that. But again, when it comes to actually announcing the people for those positions, we don’t have anything to announce today, and what we – hopefully that will be soon, and we’ll be able to get that information to you as soon as we have an announcement to share. And I’ll start, of course, by highlighting Secretary Blinken’s speech outlining this administration’s vision of a foreign policy that delivers for the American people. Our position on that hasn’t changed. Thank you. And we’ll also say that Prime Minister Abiy has consistently reiterated that – his government’s commitment to provide unhindered humanitarian access and to also move forward the notification system for humanitarian operators to travel throughout Tigray was welcomed from Senator Coons. Why is it so important that Japan and Korea get along in the standpoint of the U.S.? Thank you very kindly.

And again, I’ll just reiterate, the administration is engaging with foreign leaders and their staff around the world to stress the importance of strong public health measures. Do you have any comment on that? And the reason we’re calling it successful is because Prime Minister Abiy publicly committed to deepening in a meaningful dialogue with the international community to address this conflict in Tigray, and he also shared publicly that he condemns the human rights violations that are going on. He went there, obviously, as a presidential emissary and expressed concerns – he expressed our concern for the ongoing crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. He also reaffirmed that our commitment to mutual defense under Article 5 is unshakable and noted that we would consult closely on common security challenges and work toward mutually advantageous ways to share responsibility for our common defense. My first question is a follow-up to the statement yesterday by Ned Price on Zimbabwe. Let’s go to the line of Mohammad El Ahmed. Thanks. That’s why we’ve come to Japan, precisely to listen to our allies and to discuss how collectively we might seek to address the threat from North Korea.”  Again, there is a little bit more to that, and I would further direct you to his remarks when it comes to North Korea and that response.

About 80 percent of the Yemeni population is under Houthi control, and the Houthis have the time to come to the table right now and to meet us on the pathway to peace and diplomacy. I know the United States, like this topic came up in yesterday’s briefing, but I wanted to ask if there has been any contact with governments in the region to address this issue. And again, attacks like these underline the critical nature of UN special envoy as well as Special Envoy Lenderking’s work in the region. I wanted to ask about Bolivia. MS PORTER: Thanks for your question. So I’ll reiterate what we said before. And again, when we have an update on that, we obviously will be sure to announce that, and you’ll be the first to know. So as far as a comment to your – part of your first question, we don’t have any specific comment to that. I do know that when I was at the State Department, they attended the briefing. Senator Coons said he was optimistic that there is going to be humanitarian access to the Tigray region now.

We’ve got one of our Pentagon colleague is reporting that U.S. intelligence has assessed that North Korea could be preparing to carry out its first weapons test since Biden took office, and I was wondering if State has any comment. I’ll just also underscore that the U.S.-Japan Alliance remains the cornerstone of peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. Our concern joins those expressed by the civic, political, and religious leaders in Bolivia, as well as many others in the international community. OPERATOR:  Yes.

And on Yemen, the Houthis have refused the plan that Special Envoy Lenderking offered a couple weeks ago, and today Lenderking has called Omani and met with the Bahrain ambassador to push the process there. MS PORTER:  Let’s move on to the line of Jennifer Hansler. Then-Secretary – Defense Secretary Mattis mentioned in 2017 – he was talking about Afghanistan and Russia’s role there – and had said that the Russians seemed to be choosing to be strategic competitors in a number of areas, particularly Afghanistan, in that moment. Any reaction to that, please? If you could please comment on that. We’ll get to that in just a moment. And I think your first question was about the chief diversity and inclusion officer, and we can’t underscore enough that not only President Biden has made it a policy priority to include racial equity as a part of his term; and then, obviously, Secretary Blinken has made it very clear to the workforce that diversity, equity, inclusion will be embedded in every part of what we do, not only from creating this office but making sure that at the deputy assistant secretary level within every bureau that this is a top-down effort and that we’re all working to making sure that inclusion is a part of our national security priority because it strengthens us. MS PORTER: Well, I will say broadly that it’s the responsibility of Haiti’s government to organize elections that are free, fair, and credible. And again, what the work of – I’m sorry – Special Envoy Lenderking includes his engagement with UN Special Envoy Griffiths as well as Saudi Arabia and regional states to put forward a nationwide ceasefire.
