"The complexity of our nations' economies, individually and collectively, means that we, as leaders, cannot afford to allow major difficulties to arise."

"Our common interests are far more significant than the differences which arise among us from time to time."

"Common problems are unlikely to be solved unless we apply our mutual efforts."

"It is a fitting moment to reflect on the rich and long history of cooperation and participation which this island and its people share with the United States."
