26 Opening Dinner Debate
have I done to prove that Are we going to con tinue down this path on which all that we have built up is at
risk because we can not come together for what ever indi vid ual, national, polit i cal, reli gious, or eth nic rea -
sons Must these prob lems always exist I think we have an oppor tu nity with the com mu ni ca tions we
have today to come together and come up with a way to solve prob lems. The great nations and the great
insti tu tions—and that includes Rus sia, all of the nations of NATO, and indeed much of the
world—need to work together, whether they like it or not, to find the way. If they don’t, then all that we
have sacrificed is at risk.
I think that we are off to a good start on this 25 th anni ver sary of the work shop. Thank you for your
par tic i pa tion. I wish you the very best dur ing the next few days, and I believe that when we all go back to
our orga ni za tions and to our coun tries, we will have a great oppor tu nity to find a way ahead.
