About IDCPF
"The Iv谩n Duque Center will be a space for the defense of democracy, economic liberty, security, investment and social equity within a market economy as necessary pillars for the construction of collective prosperity in our Hemisphere." -Chair and Distinguished Fellow, H.E. Iv谩n Duque Marquez, President of Colombia (2018-2022)
Through its Iv谩n Duque Center for Prosperity and Freedom (IDCPF), the 乐鱼 体育 aims to remind policymakers of the crucial importance of the Western Hemisphere for both the US and the world. It will also give new attention to both the challenges and opportunities the Hemisphere is facing.
Why Prosperity? The Hemisphere plays an integral role in fostering economic growth by harnessing private enterprise through strategic trade and investments opportunities.
Why Freedom? It is important to shine a spotlight on tyrannies in the region who continue to commit human rights abuses and atrocities. The Western Hemisphere can lead the international community in defending democratic values, mitigating the effects of the energy transition, responding to human displacement, and strengthening our supply chains.
This new Center is a way for us to reaffirm both the importance of the Western Hemisphere in American foreign policy and the promise that democracy and market-centered economics must play in the region鈥檚 future." 鈥擜mbassador Mark A. Green
