Georgios Papandreou Expressed Contentment with the Development of UNWE

Georgius Papandreou expressed his contentment with the development of UNWE and outlined: "It is very important that your university develops a network, promotes cooperation and partnership. We are facing huge problems and challenges not only in the region but also globally and we can cope with them only if we cooperate. The climate changes, the refugee flow, economic inequality, the transition to a green economy - I believe that we can solve these issues only if we work together within the EU. Our region has its own specifities and it is very important for business stability so we need to understand that being part of the EU does not just mean to follow the EU rules, it is up to us to make the necessary changes to be more efficient, more productive, more democratic, more transparent. We have to cooperate, despite the fact that each country has its own history and problems, we should take our future in our own hands, so I congratulate you that your university is moving in this direction".
