Hillary Clinton emphasized the importance of democracy during a rare appearance at the White House for a Japanese-sponsored art award after her surprise loss to former President Donald Trump in 2016.
"President [Joe] Biden and Vice President [Kamala] Harris traveled through Asia this week, and that demonstrates, just as the event today does, this administration's commitment to America's engagement with Japan and the crucial Asia-Pacific region, where so much of the history of the 21st century is being written," Clinton said Tuesday in the East Room.
Clinton received sustained applause when she was introduced by first lady Jill Biden, who thanked the former Democratic presidential nominee, secretary of state, senator, and first lady for her"lifetime" of service, which"has left an indelible mark on this country.
The Praemium Imperiale is a global arts prize awarded annually by the Japan Art Association for lifetime achievement in the arts. The Praemium Imperiale Laureates were first celebrated at the White House by Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in 1994. Bill Clinton was impeached by the House in 1998.
