I’ve observed these bridge guards eating, and just like the police officers on duty in the police cars, they all get a standard boxed meal for each meal, accompanied by yogurt and fruit. It’s better than what many office workers eat.

“There was an opportunity to calmly and in detail once again present our position. We, of course, respect the position of the American administration, which sees the need for a swift cessation of hostilities. And we would also like that. We would like to move to resolving all issues by peaceful means”

We are honored to take on this leadership role on an interim basis at a pivotal time for the World Economic Forum. As the organization moves into a new chapter, we look ahead with clarity, purpose, and confidence in the Forum’s enduring mission.

The world is more fragmented and complex than ever, but the need for a platform that brings together business, government, and civil society has never been greater. We believe the Forum can serve as a unique catalyst for cooperation, one that fosters trust, identifies shared goals, and turns dialogue into action.

We remain optimistic. The Forum has an opportunity to help drive international collaboration in a way that not only generates prosperity but distributes it more broadly. This renewed vision can promote open markets and national priorities side by side, while advancing the interests of workers and stakeholders globally.

We look forward to helping shape a more resilient and prosperous future, and to reinventing and strengthening the Forum as an indispensable institution for public-private cooperation.
