Un vertice di "portata globale" ma anche "un segno eloquente della
rilevanza e della responsabilità acquisite dall'Asia nello scenario
internazionale all'inizio del secolo XXI". Così il Papa sottolinea il
significato del g20 - che si apre giovedì 11 novembre, a Seoul - in un
messaggio indirizzato al presidente della Repubblica di Corea Lee
Myung-bak.
Mr. Lee Myung-bak
President of the Republic of Korea
Mr. President,
The meeting about to take place in Seoul of Heads of States and
Government of the world's twenty-two leading economies together with
the Secretary-General of the United Nations Organization, the
Presidency of the European Union and some regional Organizations, as
well as the leaders of various specialized Agencies, is not only of
global importance but also clearly expresses the significance and
responsibility which Asia has acquired on the international scene at
the beginning of the 21st century. The Korean Presidency of the Summit
is a recognition of the significant level of economic development
attained by your country, which is the first among those not belonging
to the G8 to host the G20 and guide its decision in the world after the
crisis. The Summit seeks solutions to quite complex questions, on which
the future of upcoming generations depends and which therefore require
the cooperation of the entire international community, based on the
acknowledgement - which is shared and agreed by all peoples - of the
primary and central value of human dignity, the final objective of the
choices themselves.
