    U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, right, is greeted on her arrival at Rarotonga International Airport in Rarotonga, the most populous island of the Cook Islands, on August 30, 2012.

    Warm welcome for Hillary Clinton in the Cook Islands

    Hillary Clinton was greeted by Cook Islanders in straw grass skirts and headdresses dancing, chanting and playing drums, NBC News' Catherine Chomiak reports. By the end of the arrival ceremony garlands were piled high around the Secretary of State's neck, some of them so long they almost touched the ground.

    Read more about Clinton's visit to the South Pacific island chain that is home to just 10,000 people in this report from The Associated Press: Tiny Cook Islands a squeeze for Hillary Clinton.
