On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we pause to honor the 2,403 lives lost—soldiers, sailors, and civilians—whose sacrifices echo through history. 83 years later, their courage and sacrifice still hit us in the heart. We remember them, not just as numbers, but as real people who gave everything.

We are creating the largest free trade zone in the world, with an additional market of 260 million potential consumers of European goods.
It is a win-win for European and South American countries.

Seeing again this Cathedral, in all its magnificence, is more than a symbol.
