Mission Cry Distributes 50,000 Bibles in Chihuahua, Mexico

The Summit of the Americas was established in 1994 to enhance multilateral cooperation among countries in the Western Hemisphere, addressing political, economic, and security challenges through a coordinated summit process. These gatherings, managed by summit hosts and the Summits of the Americas Secretariat, aim to deepen cooperation and understanding across the region, with special summits occasionally focusing on urgent issues. The first summit, spearheaded by President Bill Clinton, set a precedent for democratic governance and regional modernization, coming on the heels of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Over its thirty-year history, the summit has served as a platform for leaders to establish collective priorities and track progress on hemispheric initiatives. The Atlantic Council, in partnership with the U.S. State Department, now offers a dashboard to monitor summit outcomes and provide expert insights. This collaborative approach underscores the importance of sustained dialogue and partnership in addressing shared regional challenges.
