Next week,I will travel to Europe to attend the G8 summit. At this meeting,the leaders of industrialized nations will discuss ways to advance trade,fight disease,promote development that works,increase access to education,and address the longterm challenge of global climate change.
When we help lift societies out of poverty,we create new markets for American goods and new jobs for American workers. When we help reduce disorder and suffering,we make America safer,because prosperous nations are less likely to breed (繁殖) violence and export terror.
On Tuesday,America took new action to address the ongoing genocide (种族大屠杀) in Darfur. On my orders,the Department of Treasury tightened our existing economic sanctions (制裁) against Sudan and imposed additional ones. The people of Darfur have suffered long enough. We will not ignore a crisis that challenges the conscience of the world.
On Wednesday,the United States demonstrated leadership on another crisis affecting Africa . HIV/AIDS. In2003,my Administration launched a$15 billion Emergency Plan for AIDS relief,and I've asked Congress to double our plan for HIV/AIDS prevention to$30 billion over the next five years.
On Thursday,I announced three new initiatives (措施) that will help the developing world. The first initiative is a new project called the Africa Financial Sector Initiative. This initiative will help bring African nations the technical assistance they need and it will encourage the international financial community to promote up to$1 billion of new private investment in Africa.
The second initiative is to help more of the world's poorest children get an education. My Administration has provided about$300 million to improve educational opportunities throughout that continent. Now,with the support of Congress,we will devote$525 million over the next five years to help provide a quality basic education for up to four million children in poor nations.
The third initiative is a proposal to help developing nations meet their growing energy needs while protecting the environment and addressing the challenge of global climate change.
In all these endeavors,the American people can be proud of our global leadership and generosity. Our Nation is delivering aid and comfort to those in need. We're helping expand opportunity across the world. We're laying the foundation for a more peaceful and hopeful future for all our citizens.
