OPINION | 'Despite what’s at stake geopolitically today in the world and for U.S. foreign policy, this summit will most likely be symbolic,' writes Arturo_Sarukhan
launched the annual regional summitry mechanism in 2005 in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 2001.
Unfortunately, most of the previous summits have been more symbolic than substantive. Despite what’s at stake geopolitically today in the world and for U.S. foreign policy, this summit will most likely be symbolic, too. The opportunity lies in the fact that the U.S. is in the midst of the most important recalibration of its foreign policy and national security interests since the end of the Cold War, as it reviews and seeks to recast its strategic stance vis-à-vis China. If that recalibration—and the strategic paradigm that results from it—is to prove successful, particularly in the trade and economic domains, Canada and Mexico need to become an integral part of that vision.
Third, despite measures seeking to stem record levels of migration across the Americas, the massive North American labor demand is undeniable. And finally, common domain awareness in North America—particularly when it comes to cybersecurity and the protection of both intellectual property and industrial data and national security infrastructure from Alaska to Chiapas—requires deeper and more consistent efforts to ensure common protocols, standards. It also requires helping to boost Mexico’s governmental and private sector capabilities in regards to preventing cyberattacks by extra regional state or non-state actors.
