New Kervoskia
TNPer
The early days of a new administration allows us to reflect on what has occurred in the past, and how we wish to pursue our goals for the future. We have seen a world full of changes, where great powers have fallen into the dusty filing cabinets of history and regions on edge. We have seen our populations decline and our influence in the world decrease.
Yet, not all is bad. We look beyond our shores and see advances made where The North Pacific can assist and take the initiative. The North Pacific has the potential to occupy a position of leadership among the open, advanced societies, which are becoming increasingly influential as world power is dispersing and becoming more defined in terms of influence rather than might. It is through our geographic location, along with being one of the largest regions in the world, which gives TNP an important advantage as new poles of political power emerge.
TNP, thus, is in a privileged position to influence change and to benefit from opportunities as we move forward in 2010. Through such bodies as the Security Council of the World Assembly where we as a region can make ourselves a trusted and influential player, we have the potential to work in concert with friends and allies in order to assure mutual interests are secure. The measure of our success in this world will be our ability as a society to effectively focus our interregional efforts in a constructive and responsible fashion, in order to protect and promote The North Pacific’s values and interests in the world. Our vision of the new world illuminates our achievements and sustains our aspirations: tolerance, justice, generosity and a desire for peace.
It is time to take our bearings and to chart the broad lines of public policy for the coming months and years. We must be open to undertaking new methods combined with tried and true procedures in order to better advance our selves as a region in the Foreign Affairs, Defense, Intelligence and other spheres. We as region need to work together for the benefit of our region in order to regain our place at the table of powerful regions. We will not hesitate to be aggressive when required, but we will not be afraid to listen and consult.
