Finnish President on the "era of darkness"
On Monday, 26 October, the Finnish President, Alexander Stubb, inaugurated the academic year at the College of Europe with a speech. He told those gathered that when he began his studies at the same institution in the nineties, he did so during an „era of light” – whereas now, in his assessment, an „era of darkness” has arrived.
„We once could have said that the three greatest threats to humanity – disease, famine, and war – had been defeated. Now that is no longer true. Light has given way to darkness,” said the Finnish President.
Security will depend on this
According to the Finnish President, the security of the entire world will depend on the type of relations that form between its two main powers – the United States and China.
„Global security in the world will depend on what actions the great powers take – namely the United States and China. Will they choose cooperation or confrontation?” Alexander Stubb assessed.
