Ambassador Kirkpatrick emphasized the commitment to democracy shared by the people of Puerto Rico with their fellow Americans in the rest of the United States. She said: It is a relationship based on our respect for the intrinsic human rights of freedom and Justice for all people. rights that are denied to the majority of the people of the world. Our Nation is great because we recognize and reaffirm the diversity that exists within our people. a diversity which allows our Nation to be more tolerant of the difference among us and become a stronger nation because of the many hardworking immigrants that came to our shores. Ambassador Kirkpatrick particularly emphasized that: Americans have never regarded diversity and pluralism as incompatible with unity and commonality of purpose. In Puerto Rico we are proud of our heritage and language as an integral part of the heritage and culture of our entire Nation.
