00:45Shortly after Assad's fall, I set out a set of principles
00:49essential to delivering on the aspirations of the Syrian people.
00:52I returned to the region this week to build consensus
00:55around those principles with key partners.
00:58Today, the United States and our partners in the region
01:01have agreed on a set of shared principles
01:04to guide our support for Syria and its people going forward.
01:07We agreed that the transition process should be Syrian-led
01:10and Syrian-owned and produce an inclusive
01:13and representative government.
01:15The rights of all Syrians, including minorities and women,
01:17should be respected.
01:19Syria should have peaceful relations with its neighbors.
01:22Today's agreement sends a unified message
01:24to the new interim authority and parties in Syria
01:27on the principles crucial to securing much-needed support and recognition.
01:30America and our partners have an important stake
01:33in helping the Syrian people chart this new path.
01:35We know that what happens inside of Syria
01:38can have powerful consequences well beyond its borders,
01:41from mass displacement to terrorism.
01:44No one has any illusions about how challenging this time will be.
01:47But there's also something incredibly powerful at work.
01:51A Syrian people determined to break with the past
01:54and shape a better future.

02:29Back in the region at a time of both willpower and
02:58promise but also peril for Syria and for its neighbors.
03:03And the focus of our work here is to coordinate efforts across the region to support the Syrian
03:11people as they transition away from Assad's brutal dictatorship.
03:15I think to succeed and to emerge from the past dominated by Assad, any transitional
03:22government has to adhere to certain basic principles.
03:25It should be inclusive, non-sectarian.
03:30It's got to uphold and protect the rights of all Syrians, including minorities, including
03:34women.
03:35It has to make sure that it's preserving institutions of the state, delivering services.
03:40We have to make sure that any interim government also makes sure that Syria is not used as
03:46a base for terrorism.
03:47It's got to be inclusive, non-sectarian, and it's got to make sure that it's preserving
03:54institutions of the state, delivering services.
03:55It's got to make sure that any interim government also makes sure that Syria is not used as
03:56a base for terrorism.
03:57It's got to make sure that any interim government also makes sure that Syria is not used as
03:58a base for terrorism.
03:59It's got to make sure that any interim government also makes sure that Syria is not used as
04:00a base for terrorism.

04:02a base for terrorism.
04:03It's got to make sure that any interim government also makes sure that Syria is not used as
04:04a base for terrorism.
04:05It's got to make sure that any interim government also makes sure that Syria is not used as
