This Summit is the only forum of its kind where global leaders come together to discuss how people view their leaders, and how those leaders confront challenges on local and global levels. We deeply appreciate you taking the time to join us, as well as the phenomenal support of our Summit and Ball Co-Chairs, Dalia Mroue-Fateh, Founder and CEO of Salt Productions, and Christophe Navarre, Chairman and CEO of Moët Hennessy; our Summit partners, Gallup and the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center; and the corporate sponsors who have made this event possible. In today’s discussions, some of the world’s top private and public sector leaders will explore the findings of Gallup’s Global States of Mind: New Metrics for World Leaders – a worldwide study of what people in more than 160 countries are thinking about key issues, including law and order; food and shelter; and job creation. This data and the insights expressed today are intended to guide leaders in building effective strategies for putting their organizations and nations on the course for greater success. At Meridian, we believe that there is no shortage of information or solutions to any challenge – but there could be more effective problem-solving through exchange and collaboration. Our core mission is to provide global leaders with a neutral forum for creating shared value. We believe that the best solutions are born from bringing people, communities, and cultures together. For more than 50 years, Meridian International Center has been a place where global leaders come together, in the U.S. and around the world. In September, the Meridian team, in close collaboration with the U.S. Department of State, brought together 100 leaders from more than 40 African countries for the President’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Reunion Seminars in Dakar and Johannesburg. In June, Meridian joined with the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the China National Academy of Painting to host Beautiful China: Fan Paintings from the National Academy of Painting. This exhibition is just one of Meridian’s ongoing cultural diplomacy programs which strengthen the relationship between the United States and countries around the world. In addition to the exchanges and forums that Meridian convenes around the world, we have institutionalized our work of fostering the next generation of leaders through the Meridian Global Leadership Institute (GLI), which was launched at last year’s Summit. GLI incorporates Meridian’s 50 years of expertise in providing training and development programs to senior government officials with state-of-the-art leadership strategies utilized by the world’s most successful private and public sector trailblazers. GLI’s Essentials of Global Leadership program is part of today’s Summit. This two-day program features key leadership topics including cultural intelligence, global stakeholder engagement, geopolitical risk acumen, and public diplomacy. Like the Summit, the Essentials of Global Leadership provides a neutral forum in which leaders can exchange their unique perspectives, share best practices, and create lasting partnerships. Finally, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Navarre on his receipt of Meridian’s Corporate Leader Award, an honor well-deserved by a true global leader. We truly hope that you enjoy today’s events, and thank you for supporting the important work of Meridian International Center. Governor James J. Blanchard Ambassador Stuart W.
