It
is International Workers' Day. That is an important date for many in Europe and
in other regions of the world. We celebrate the working people’s rights. And I
add to that my deep appreciation for those who keep struggling to survive.
Particularly currently when most of the economic system is upside down. At the
same time, as I look ahead, I see continued disruption and new levels of
hardship. And I do not see the collective political will that a situation like
the present one would require. Each leader is hiding behind national border
walls. That is the wrong approach. We need regional and international joint
efforts. As we need to promote cooperation between the big economies, including
the US and China. Harsh words, bellicose statements, at this stage, do take us
in the wrong direction. Leaders that follow that path will be severely assessed
by future generations.
