The world of today is a more transparent one, where all have access to everything and can reach everywhere. There are no more borders that can not be crossed or passed over, except by the clouds and the winds. Everything has changed. We are called upon, as parliamentarians and executives, to work together on formulating a more just and stable universal future. Industry and trade are not able any more to ignore the requirements of environmental protection.
Profitability is meaningless without high quality of life.
Just as there is no democracy without development, there is no development without peace. We all have to learn how to solve our problems through dialogue and negotiation, away from violence. We call for lifting the embargo on Iraq, for the preservation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, so that it can resume its role on the regional and international arena.
