                Proclamation 9590 of April 7, 2017

                
Pan American Day and Pan American Week, 2017

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Pan American Day and Pan American Week commemorate the 
                127th anniversary of the conclusion of the First 
                International Conference of American States. This 
                inter-American gathering planted the seed for the 
                creation of the Organization of American States, an 
                enduring organization for the promotion of democracy, 
                security, human rights, and economic development 
                throughout the Americas. Pan American Day and Pan 
                American Week remind us to reflect on the shared 
                history of the Americas and the Caribbean and to commit 
                to strengthening relationships with our regional 
                partners based on common interests and shared values.

                My Administration is dedicated to improving border 
                security, dismantling transnational criminal networks, 
                and combating terrorism to ensure the safety of our 
                citizens. We are committed to constructive and 
                cooperative engagement with our longstanding Pan 
                American partners, building on existing linkages and 
                forging new relationships, to advance these critical 
                objectives.

                The governments and people of the Americas are united 
                through longstanding institutional, economic, cultural, 
                and social bonds. In conversations and meetings with 
                regional leaders, I continue to reinforce America's 
                commitment to those bonds and to advancing the Pan 
                American ideals of peace and prosperity across the 
                Western Hemisphere. As these conversations continue, we 
                will find new ways to promote enhanced, reciprocal 
                relationships among the Pan American States, advancing 
                the well-being of people throughout the region.

                As we celebrate Pan American Day and Pan American Week, 
                commemorating the formation of our Pan American 
                partnership on April 14, 1890, let us reaffirm our 
                close ties and pledge to work together on shared 
                priorities that are vital to the interests of our 
                countries.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim April 14, 2017, as 
                Pan American Day and April 9 through April 15, 2017, as 
                Pan American Week. I call upon the people of the United 
                States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies 
                and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
