The Legacy of the Summit of the Americas: Achieving Prosperity with Equality
The Legacy of the Summit of the Americas : Achieving Prosperity with Equality - Americas—which included Cuba for the first time—marked the beginning of a much-needed discussion for the countries of our hemisphere: how can we work together to ensure more prosperous and equitable societies? Economic growth and prosperity that privileges exclusively a few people is not only an extremely unfair situation; it also leads to political and social instability that, at the end of the day, affects our societies as a whole. In this sense, the urgency of generating “prosperity with equality”, the theme of the Summit, has become an imperative for all its participants.
