MARRAKESH, Morocco, Nov 3 (Reuters) - The United States will deliver on President Barack Obama's promise of a "new start" with the world's Muslims, offering fresh programmes to promote entrepreneurship, economic development and education, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday.

Clinton, speaking to a development forum in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, said the programmes would also aim to encourage scientific and technical collaboration, women's empowerment and cooperation between faiths.

Clinton's speech was billed as a follow-up to Obama's June address in Cairo in which he promised to seek a new start to troubled U.S. relations with the Islamic world. (Reporting by Andrew Quinn; Editing by Louise Ireland)
