Kennedy used on a trip to South Africa in 1966 and an experience which we live today. For no matter how the complex, interconnected and economically-challenged world we live in is characterized, it must surely be considered interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting times are also challenging times &#8211; challenging because they are full of uncertainty, challenging because they are full of risk, and challenging because they are full of opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, the world faces one of the most severe economic downturns in a lifetime and, on the other, we are filled with expectation because of a young and energetic new leader of the United States, Barack Obama, who promises hope with a passion and conviction not seen in the United States since the days of the young Kennedys in the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p> So what are we to do?<\/p>\n<p>Many are awaiting definitions and solutions from the new U.S. president; however, what is exciting about these interesting times is the opportunity to proactively seek solutions and define the future of the world we will live in.<\/p>\n<p>This month we report on the Chilean economic stimulus package which has been viewed globally as an excellent example of preparing for and acting in interesting times &#8211; a program which has been applauded in Chile and internationally.  <\/p>\n<p>We cover the meeting of the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America (AACCLA) where a concrete plan of work has been developed to confront, among other challenges, the specter of looming isolationism, one of the greatest threats to global economic recovery. This program of work will support Pathways to Prosperity, an important initiative through which the countries in the hemisphere with Free Trade Agreements with the United States are seeking to ensure that the benefits of trade are maximized across the region and to the benefit of its people.   <\/p>\n<p>In our trade testimonial, we report on the exciting new markets which a Chilean start-up company has found in exporting the flavors and fragrances of Chile and, in the process, making the world familiar with Chile\u2019s rich cultural identity.<\/p>\n<p>And in a very enthusiastic way, we report on the arrival of Wal-Mart to the Chilean market, offering great opportunities and challenges for consumers and competitors &#8211; an investment that shows confidence in the country, its business leaders and its future.<\/p>\n<p>All of these initiatives are excellent examples of exciting strategies which can be employed to turn the challenges of interesting times into wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>AmCham Chile too is committed to proactively contributing to the future. Under the leadership of the Chamber\u2019s new president we have worked diligently on our 2009 strategy. We are committed to promoting free and fair trade, to preventing isolationism, to deepening the benefits of free trade across all sectors of the economy, and to communicating energetically the benefits which the FTA has brought to the United States and Chile and their peoples. <\/p>\n<p>We will actively support sustainable and environmentally-friendly business practices, as well as strong social responsibility programs. We will highlight the benefits of respect for intellectual property and for development of English language skills (see invitation to participate in The Great Corporate Debate). We will support Chilean efforts to develop and to promote Chile\u2019s country image. We will actively participate in the Pathways to Prosperity initiative. Finally, we will take a leadership role in September\u2019s Americas Competitiveness Forum to be held in Santiago. <\/p>\n<p>The stage has been set. AmCham is committed to a strong plan of action which will help to turn interesting times into prosperous times. We look forward to the meeting in April of hemispheric leaders in Trinidad and Tobago for the Summit of the Americas. We encourage leaders of the region to attend, prepared with ideas and recommendations for the future so that a dynamic shared agenda can be set for the region in these, the most interesting of times.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es-->\u201cPuede que Ud. viva en tiempos interesantes\u201d, una frase que Robert F.
