2011 gubernatorial press release: on Foreign Policy


Bev Perdue: International dialogue will lead to a more peaceful world

We live in an increasingly interconnected world and improving global literacy among our citizens contributes significantly to our nation's foreign policy, economic competitiveness and national security. Through international education, the US can establish a foundation for dialogue and partnership with the rest of the world and create the conditions for lasting global peace, security, and well-being; I proclaim November 14-18, 2011, as International Education Week.

Sean Parnell: Preserve freedom; serve a cause larger than self

[Speech on September 11]: To our military and to every person who gets called out first in the face of disaster and tragedy: We say "thank you." It is up to us to make our lives count, because these thousands gave us their very lives, that incalculable gift. Like them, we renew our pledge to serve a cause larger than ourselves. To selflessly give all that is required, that freedom be preserved. For those whom we've lost, and for those who still serve us, we owe nothing less.

Terry Branstad: Partnership with Kosovo will benefit National Guard

I am delighted to announce the establishment of a State Partnership Program with the Republic of Kosovo. The SPP will benefit both our Iowa National Guard and the Kosovo Security Force by creating bilateral reciprocal relationships. The state partner opens doors for its partner country to U.S. capabilities, assisting in the development of democratic institutions and open market economies, as well as generating interagency coordination, cooperation and enduring relationships.
