Jose Maria Aznar, Tomorrow 2009

Evening Plenary Session: A Conversation between Leaders: Turning Crisis into Opportunity

Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Demanding challenges dominate the agendas of world leaders. Difficult dilemmas arrive at their desks daily. Their world is not theoretical. World leaders are tasked with making practical decisions that would create a better tomorrow on the ground. These leaders, who operate in demanding arenas saturated with threats and political difficulties, are often forced to make wrenching decisions. These challenges derive from the range of crises characterizing today's era. How are today's challenges viewed by world leaders? How are they dealing with these crises locally and globally? What is the formula for creating a positive turning point whereby crises evolve into opportunities?
