Bloomberg Global Business Forum: An Unprecedented Collaboration

We all know what's happening right now. How hard it is suddenly to understand so much in this world. You don't need me to set the tone. All of you know what is happening. But I hope and I pray that you know how much all of us need you now. Today's world doing that effectively requires leadership not only from government leaders, but also from business leaders. And that means both are missing opportunities that each would benefit from. This forum aims to fix that. We have to take it to another level and it depends upon our mind and our heart. First believing that we can and must every day expand the definition of us. We have a lot of global challenges, climate change, migrations, terrorism, and for that we do need multilateralism. And that's my main message for this few days in New York. The problem of today is so big and too big. Not even one government or any business can solve it. So we have to work together. Government working on what issues are key in society and we think about the skills we have. There's some issues that we have no skills on. Mrs. Arudati Bhattacharya. We have had growth, but that growth that comes from trade and other things hasn't necessarily reached everyone. The most internationally connected economy. So for us it is our lifeline. It is jobs, it is security, it is the future. The most important thing of course is education. President Erdogan, thank you for coming here to the Global Business Forum. Today because of technology, knowledge, we can stop that. It's just a matter of will. Future cities should empower people. The digital revolution isn't slowing down. So we get the benefit of that. But in terms of equity, it's these health breakthroughs that I'm most excited about. Today all of you have the chance to help shape that course of the future and I'm very optimistic about what we can accomplish. So again, I wanted to thank you all for coming.
