Address to Summit 2022 and Leadership Conference,
Seoul, Korea, August 11-15, 2022
I’m happy to be with you at the Summit of the Universal Peace Federation.
I want to start my conversation with you by giving a deep, deep, deep thanks to the Co-Founder of UPF, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon.
I have been the President of the European Commission, and the effort to unify Europe, though we are halfway there, is not easy. You are one country, with one language, with one common history. In Europe we are 27 countries with 22 languages, and every day there is some sort of differentiation or split.
But, when you have continuous dialogue, you understand that time is working in your favor.
Cooperation is like an infection, like COVID-19, which is spreading around, and if we cooperate, we are spreading virtue around.
