“Basic freedoms have eroded. Electoral rights have come under assault. Corruption has eaten away at hope. Under the Summit banner, over the past three years, we have risen together to meet this challenge," said Secretary Blinken.

“We come from nations large and small, East and west, developed and developing economies. But we're all united by a fierce conviction that democracy is the single most powerful tool for unleashing human potential and delivering results for our people,” declared Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the recent Summit for Democracy in Seoul.

Under the Summit banner, over the past three years, we have risen together to meet this challenge.
