US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is on her state visit to Qatar, has expressed that the Obama administration has yet to achieve some of its foreign policy goals oriented to improve ties with the Muslim-World.

Pleading for patience at U. S.-Islamic World Forum, Clinton said that a large list of unfinished goals is there before the administration to undertake but deadlocks cannot be broken over night.

The conference, sponsored by the Qatari government and the Brookings Institution, was attended by around 300 Muslim and Western government officials, businesspeople, scholars and religious figures. Addressing the U. S.-Islamic World Forum conference, Mrs. Clinton expressed, "I understand why people might be impatient. Building a stronger relationship cannot happen overnight or even in a year."

Referring to the speech delivered by President Obama last June at Cairo University, she apprised the Muslim World of the initiatives taken by US administration to resolve deadlock between Israel and the Palestinians and to solve the Iranian nuclear program.

Sheik Jassim al-Thani urged US to solve the Iran problem without hurting the interest of the state. He added, "If there is a nuclear race in the region, it will be an unhealthy race for all of us."
