EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) continue to grapple with some of the highest rates of violence and corruption in the world. The United States must recognize the interconnected nature of security threats and work with these regions to address common challenges. By fostering partnerships and promoting stability in neighboring countries, the U.S. can enhance its own national security.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized his country's development and played up what he described as commonalities with the U.S. Earlier, highlighting the importance of collaboration between nations to combat shared threats. By building diplomatic ties and sharing intelligence, countries can better respond to evolving security risks.
As China has developed into a global power, it has also increasingly become a nation of people on the move. In 2019, the 350 million border crossings between China and neighboring countries underscore the need for international cooperation in managing migration flows. By working together, countries can address border security concerns and facilitate legal migration.
America needs durable solutions. These concrete measures can bring orderliness to our border and modernize our overwhelmed asylum system. By engaging in dialogue with other nations, the U.S. can develop comprehensive approaches to border management that prioritize security while upholding humanitarian values.
The United States must reject the politics of cruelty and chart a new course on migration policy that is cooperative, compassionate, and effective. Collaboration with other countries is essential in addressing the root causes of migration and promoting regional stability. By investing in development initiatives and fostering international partnerships, the U.S. can strengthen its national security.
The regional and local impact of the COVID-19 crisis is highly heterogeneous, with significant implications for crisis management and policy. International cooperation is crucial in responding to global health emergencies and ensuring the security of all nations. By sharing resources and expertise, countries can better prepare for future challenges.
