Glad to chair this panel on empower, accelerate, scale and deliver at the @GeSIConnect Digital with Purpose Summit. We will not eradicate poverty without narrowing the digital divide (3bn people offline). And we will not reach #SDGs & climate goals without digital transformation.
Reviving a dialogue happens not with words, but witth silence; not by insisting, but by patiently beginning anew to patiently listen to another person, hearing about their struggles and what they carry inside. The healing of the heart begins with listening.

Today we raised 9.1 billion euros for the people fleeing the invasion, inside Ukraine and abroad. And more will come!

African countries don't import oil from Russia. But almost all European countries do as well as many others. However, the rise in prices will deeply affect the continent. Some oil exporters may celebrate, but not for long: inflationary trends will go beyond Russian products.
A historic night at Versailles. After five hours of heated discussions EU leaders said yes to Ukrainian eurointegration. The process started. Now it is up to us and Ukrainians to accomplish it fast. Heroic Ukrainian nation deserves to know that they are welcome in EU.
