Ambassador cook said, “My job is to address systemtic challenges to religious intolerance.” She is to focus her work on the UN Resolution 1618. Her program is to ‘MAP’: Media, Advocacy and Policy. ”The USA can support emerging countries by using religious freedom which also can support the stability of new regimes,” the Ambassador indicated.
