How Bill Clinton "Values" Huma

I liked this Ambinder quote about Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin: "She is also a Muslim who speaks fluent Arabic --her mother runs a university in Saudi Arabia -- and brings that perspective on a complex part of the world to HRC's sphere. it's not uncommon to see Huma on Bill Clinton's important trips to the region, because he too values her in that way." [my italics]

Values her in that way? As opposed to valuing her, um, some other way?
