Tokyo Global Dialogue 2019

Keynote speech : The world in the next 30 years

… I deeply think that not only us in Europe but the rest of the world needs a strong Europe. Why? Because we are no longer, and we will never be again an imperialistic power, but we are really a free association of free countries, something totally new in history, economically relatively successful in spite of all the difficulties, and in a certain sense, we are a model of social democracy which works – it is difficult, but it works. We need you and you need us.
