             Ladies and gentlemen,
             The set of problems facing the international community is exceptionally complicated. It sometimes seems
      that it is simply impossible to cope with them. But as the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with
      a single step.
             We must seek support in the moral values that have ensured the progress of our civilisation. Honesty and
      ard work, responsibility and faith in our strength are bound to bring us success.
             There should be no place for despondency. The crisis can and must be fought by uniting our intellectual,
      spiritual ad material resources.
             This kind of consolidation of efforts is inconceivable without mutual trust. This does not only concern
      participants in business life. Primarily this concerns states.
             Achieving mutual trust is a key task that all of us will have to pursue.
             It is trust and solidarity that will help us overcome existing difficulties, avoid numerous upheavals and
      achieve prosperity and well-being in the current century.
             Thank you for your attention.
