69.23: Europe
Other Information:
The West has been the bulwark of democracy and freedom, providing hope and faith to the oppressed around the globe. Our historic
ties to the peoples of Europe have been based on shared culture and values, common interests and goals. Their endurance cannot
be taken for granted, especially in light of the continent’s economic upheaval and demographic changes. Ensuring the continued
vitality of our political alliance with Europe through NATO will require effort and understanding on both sides of the Atlantic.
We honor our special relationship with the United Kingdom and appreciate its staunch support for our fight against terrorism
worldwide. We thank the several other nations of Europe which have contributed to a united effort in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
Libya. Their sacrifice will not soon be forgotten. We are heartened by the ongoing reconciliation in Northern Ireland and
hopeful that its success might be replicated in Cyprus.
