Pan American Day And Pan American Week, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
A common heritage, an interconnected world, and shared goals and values
unite the Pan American community. As a proud member of this group
of countries, the United States celebrates Pan American Day and Pan American Week and commits to working with our partners in the Organization
of American States to advance a common future.
The Pan American community is highly interwoven, and the peoples of
the Americas must work together to build the future we seek. When one
country faces economic, security, or health challenges, its neighbors share
in this hardship. Together, the Pan American community can build strong
partnerships to surmount common concerns and further mutual success.
The broad scope of shared goals includes economic growth and equality,
increased security, strong democratic governance, and clean energy. Robust,
bottom-up economic growth benefits all citizens and all nations, and remains
a central goal of the Pan American community. Together, the countries
of the Americas can prioritize and enact policies that ensure a shared and
equitable economic prosperity. This economic future is possible only if
we protect the safety of citizens and the security of our countries. Whether
reducing street crime and gang violence, decreasing the narcotics trade,
or preventing acts of terrorism, every country has a stake in regional security.
The Pan American community also supports strong democracies and the
development of alternative energy sources. The promotion of transparent
and enduring democratic governance strengthens and defines relations in
the region and should emphasize the rule of law, a robust civil society,
respect for human rights, social equality, and effective delivery of public
services. Finally, every country benefits from a solution to our shared energy
and climate challenges. The region has already witnessed great leadership
in the development and deployment of alternative energy sources, and the
Pan American community must build upon these promising efforts.
