to freedom and democracy. i've as emblazoned on the flags of the french revolutionaries viva lieber movie live free or die thankfully freedom is also the source of all that is worth living for freedom is a call to think and to love it is a call to our will that is why in times of peace france and the united states were able to forge and breakable dance from the grist of painful memories the most indestructible the most powerful the most definitive not between us is

the ones that ties the true propose of our peoples to advance. as a berm the in concede the unfinished business of democracy indeed our two societies have stood up to advance the human rights for all they haven't gauged in a continual dialogue to unpack this unfinished business in this capitol rotunda it's a burst of martin luther king assassinated fifty years ago reminds us of the inspiration of african american leaders artists writers who have become part of our common era teach we celebrate among them james bell when and richard writes from france all stood on our side we have shared the history of civil rights francis simone de beauvoir became

a respected figure in the modern and for gender equality in america in the seventy's women's rights have long been a fundamental driver for societies on both sides of the atlantic says explains why is the me too modern and has recently had such a deep resonance in france democracy is made of day to day converse addition and mutual understanding between citizens it is easier and deeper when we have the ability to speak a choice as a language the heart of hunger from the old sore beats here in the united states from new orleans to seattle i want this heart to beat even harder in american schools all across the country democracy relies also on the faculty of freely describing the present and the capacity to invent

a future this is what culture brings. thousands of examples come to mind when we think of the exchanges between our cultures across the centuries from thomas jefferson who wasn't bad at all to france and build his house in monticello based on the building a loved in paris to hemingway's novel moveable feast celebrating the capital city of france from margaret nineteenth century french writer château burial bringing to the french people the dream of americans open spaces forests and mountains to focus novels crafter heard in the deep south but first read in france where they quickly gained literary praise from jazz coming from resent with iana and the blues from mississippi finding in france and enthusiastic public to the american fascination

for interest and the french modern and contemporary arts this exchanges are vibrant in some many fields from cinema to fashion from design to high cuisine from sports to visual arts. medicine and scientific research as well as business and innovation are also a significant part of our shared journey the united states is france's first scientific. our economy time was created hundreds of thousands of jobs on both sides of the atlantic. the story of france and the united states is a story of an endless dialogue made of common dreams of a common struggle for dignity and progress it is the best achievement of our democratic principles and values. this is this very special relationship

this is us absolutely . but we must remember as a warning of president throw the results freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction we didn't pass it to our children in the blood stream it must be fought for protected handed down for them to do the same. absolutely this is an urgent reminder indeed because now are going beyond our bilateral ties beyond all very special relationship europe and the united states

must face together the global challenges of this century and we cannot take for granted outfront that history and dance as a core our worth and values and souls are at risk we have to succeed facing this challenges and we cannot succeed in for getting our principles and our history in fact the twenty first century as broad's a series of new threats and new challenges that our ancestors mind not aver have imagined our strongest beliefs are challenged by the rise of forget the no new world order our societies are concerned about the future of the children. all office gathered here in this novel chambre

we elected officials all share the responsibility to demonstrate that democracy remains the best answer to the questions and dabs that to raise today even if the foundations of our progress are disrupted when the stand firmly and fights to make our principles prevail absolutely but we bear and no other responsibility in narrative from our collective history today the international community needs to step up our game and build the twenty first century world order basins of perennial principles we established together

after world war two the rule of flow the fundamental values on which we secured peace for seventy years are now question by urgency issues that we quiet our joint action together with our international allies and partners we are facing inequalities created by globalization threats to the planets our common good attacks on democracy through the rise of liberalism and the destabilisation of our international community by new powers and criminal states all this risks aggrieved our citizens bostons the united states and in europe we are living in a time of anger and fear because of this current global threats

but this feelings. do not build anything you can play with yours and angers for a time but they do not construct anything anger only freezes and we can service and ask franklin delano roosevelt's aid during his first inaugural speech the only think we have to fear it is fear itself perhaps therefore let me say we have two possible ways had we can choose

isolationism withdrawal and nationalism this is an option it can be tempting to us as a temporary remember if two off years but closing the door to the word will not stop the evolution of the word it will not dollars but inflame the fruits of our citizens we have to keep our eyes wide open to the new risks right in front of us i'm convinced that if we decide to open our eyes wider we will be stronger we will overcome the down jer's we will not let's run paging work of extreme nationalism shake a wall full of hope for greater prosperity it is a critical moments if we don't have to act with urgency as

a global community. i am convinced that the international institutions including the united nations and nato will no longer be able to exercise their mandate and stabilizing influence we would zen inevitably and severely undermine the liberal alder we built after world war two all the powers with a stronger strategy and ambition will then feels a void we will leave. all the poor will not is it eight once the ground to advocate their own model to shape the twenty first century walter personally if you ask me i do not share the fascination for new strong powers the abandonment of freedom and the

illusion of nationalism. pl . and. therefore. distinguished members of the congress letters spruce them aside write our own history and birth the future we once. i've. we have to shape our common answers to the global threats that we are facing the only options then is to strengthen our corporation. we can build the twenty first century war the order based on a new breed of multilateralism based on

a more effective accountable and results oriented multilateralism a strong military that alison this requires more than ever the united states' involvement as your role was decisive for creating and said god into day three word the united states is the one who invented zz's militarily isn't you on zero one now who has too old to preserve and reinvent it perhaps .

this strong military at our listening will not outshine our national cultures and national identities it is exactly as yours a way around a strong literalism with a low all cultures and identities to be respected to be protected and to flourish freely together why because precisely our own cultures is days on both sides of the atlantic of this on this unique taste for freedom on this unique attachment for liberty and peace this is a red letter alison is a unique option compatible with our nation's our cultures our identities. with the u.s.
