Following the remarks, the first session, 'Why We Can Hope: Peace, People and Planet,' started off with remarks from Cameron. He argued that politics should address and correct economic and social segregation. He commented that threats mankind is facing, such as poverty, have basically not changed over time, and the world sholud be united to tackle such problems. He added that world unity is getting stronger as the G20 and other platforms promote international cooperation. He said, "It is important that countries cooperate with each other. Dialogue is important, but we need concrete action."
He also stressed the importance of economic growth, saying, "Britain achieved growth during my tenure, creating employment. Eradicating poverty, securing access to clean water and doing other things for poor countires requires money, and thus leadership by wealthy countries is necessary."
