Davos: Meeting Wraps Up With Appeal To Help World's Poor
=====================================================================
“This year's gathering of the world's rich and powerful at the World
Economic Forum (WEF) produced fresh commitments to revive
Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, a glimmer of hope on liberalizing world
trade, determination to combat global warming - and emotional appeals at
Sunday's closing session to help the world's neediest escape poverty.
The five-day political and economic brainstorming session was less glitzy
this year … [i]nstead, the forum returned to its roots of international
problem-solving with 24 world leaders, over 800 top business leaders and
dozens of social activists and academics discussing a host of issues from
the conflict in Iraq and Iran's nuclear ambitions to the continuing rise
of China and India as economic powers. The new stars of Davos were the
young entrepreneurs - many whose fortunes have been made on the Internet
and with new technology … . … The biggest political players at Davos were
from the Middle East. … There were calls from Blair, musician Bono, South
African President Thabo Mbeki and Liberian President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson
to governments and companies to keep their promises of aid to Africa - and
redouble their efforts. …” [Dow Jones (01/28)/Factiva]
The BBC notes that “Tony Blair told the WEF a major breakthrough on
long-term climate change goals could be close. He told the forum in Davos,
Switzerland it was possible because of a ‘quantum shift’ in the attitude
of the US. He said the German Group of Eight (G8) presidency offered an
opportunity for a new international agreement for when the Kyoto Protocol
expired in 2012. … The UK Prime Minister praised Chancellor Angela
Merkel's focus on climate change during her EU presidency and India and
China's engagement with the G8. He also pledged to work with other world
leaders towards a more ‘radical’ and ‘comprehensive’ successor to the
Kyoto protocol. … However, he said any agreement would not be able to
deliver without binding commitments from the US, China and India. …” [BBC
News Online (01/27)]
Reuters reports that “Blair said on Friday that the G8 group of leading
economies needed to embrace emerging giants China and India if it was to
keep its influential role in the world. ‘The reality is the G8 is
undergoing a process of change now,’ Blair told a panel at the WEF. ‘I
can't see the G8 having the same authority politically unless it has got
China and India.’ …” [Reuters (01/26)/Factiva]
French daily La Tribune reports that “Wolfowitz Sunday gave his support
for anyone who, such as Blair, recommends enlarging the G8 in order to
reinforce the influence of emerging countries like China. …” [La Tribune
(France, 01/29)/Factiva]
“Musician and social activist Bono and Blair Friday urged countries and
companies that have pledged to aid Africa to keep their promises and their
helping hands extended. A failure to do so, said Blair, who made debt
relief for Africa the platform of his presence at the WEF's annual meeting
two years ago, and again at the summit of the G8 nations in 2005, would
nullify efforts made so far. ‘I think it's important that the momentum is
redoubled for the G8 meeting this June in Germany,’ he told an audience
made up of US senators, the president of the World Bank, world leaders and
a host of corporate chiefs. … Blair called for a redoubling of efforts to
provide aide to Africa, something South African President Thabo Mbeki and
Liberian President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson agreed with. …” [The Associated
Press (01/26)/Factiva]
Meanwhile, “UK Chancellor Gordon Brown and Queen Rania of Jordan joined a
panel of young people from around the world in an attempt to give a
powerful political boost to plans for a $10 billion global fund to WEF
that a pledging conference of rich governments from around the globe is to
be convened in Brussels at the end of April in a drive to secure the funds
needed to deliver universal, quality primary schooling to 80 million
children in poor nations currently denied an education. …” [The Times (UK,
01/27)/Factiva]
The Guardian further reports that “Gordon Brown is seeking to put fresh
impetus behind debt relief for the world's poorest countries by pressing
Britain's G8 partners to back the write-off of the $3 billion owed by
Liberia to its creditors. The chancellor met Liberia's president, Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf, in Davos late last week and assured Africa's first woman
leader that he would back her in her attempts to free the country - one of
the poorest in the continent - from the debt burden built up by its
corrupt former leaders, Samuel Doe and Charles Taylor. …” [The Guardian
(UK, 01/29)/Factiva]
