KEYNOTE MESSAGES

Setting the scene for the conference, Jan Eliasson, Former Minister for Foreign ­Affairs of Sweden and Deputy Secretary-General of the UN, spoke extensively on general global issues, including the shifting of economic power to the East, militarisation of re- lationships between countries, weak- ening of the transatlantic link, refugee problems, and the issue of Brexit, etc. He pointed out that the Brexit was one of the biggest tragedies of the EU. He also spent a lot of time discussing the roles and positions of women and young people in future societies. Eliasson had been party to many negotiations on international and local issues. He gave an interesting analysis on reasons for failures and successes in these negotiations. In conclusion, he painted an optimistic Jan Erik Norli, Telenor Maritime George Papastamatiou, Liknoss picture of the future.
