The Third Global Opinion Leaders Summit (3)


 After an intermission, the second half of the summit began with Blair’s speech. He said, “There are many characteristics of globalization. The most obvious one is that globalization makes the world interdependent…When the U.S. Federal Reserve talks about quantitative easing, the global market reacts. The reaction to the Ebola outbreak must also be global.”

  He then expressed concern over terrorism by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and the Ukrainian conflict. In order to solve these disputes, he stressed the importance of the education of young people.

  He also said, “Developed countries and their allies should also stay strong in tackling international terrorism. In this sense, it is important for EU to get back on its feet.” He seemingly referred to economic weakness and conflict surrounding Russia over the Ukrainian situation.
