that have affected us why 50 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,680 were we not able to prevent certain 51 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000 things 52 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,879 we have achieved thanks to a common 53 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:30,560 effort thanks to solidarity 54 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,640 thanks to cooperation thanks to mutual 55 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,879 better 56 00:02:35,760 -->

00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:43,200 although i do hope that they will never 60 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,400 be confronted with 61 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,319 such a challenge thank you very much for 62 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:47,840 inviting me to this 63 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,360 important conference the topic of which 64 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,000 is so 65 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,920 strictly connected with the global 66 00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:55,920 problems the problems of our origin 67 00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,480 especially in this particular moment 68 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,359 which i just mentioned 69 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,599 physical participation in this event 70 00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:05,519 would not have been possible 71 00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:08,239 if it was not for the security given to 72 00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:08,879 us by 73 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,120 huge efforts of medical personnel and 74 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,239 months 75 00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:14,480 of sacrifice connected with numerous 76 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,680 restrictions 77 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,959 which i hope 78 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,000 and i'm saying this not only in this 79 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,760 particular speech i'm having now because 80 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,799 this is the question 81 00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:48,640 that we are asking ourselves in our 82 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720 inofficial conversations 83 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,599 in the so-called bilateral formula 84 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:54,879 there's a question that also we the 85 00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:56,720 presidents of the states are asking 86 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,000 these were the topics of the 87 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,519 conversations yesterday with the 88 00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:00,959 president of the prime ministers 89 00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:03,519 and these have also been the topics of 90 00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:05,280 the conversations we have had today 91 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,879 can we say that if the number 92 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,080 of cases in my country in poland 93 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,840 has now dropped 94 00:04:16,478 --> 00:04:18,560 which we recorded exactly one year ago 95 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,600 that is between 200 and 400 cases every 96 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,960 day 97 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,560 does that really mean that we can be 98 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:28,560 happy 99 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,240 and say that this is the effect of the 100 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,840 vaccination or 101 00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:34,880 is it the consequence of the conditions 102 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,960 of the atmospheric conditions that we're 103 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,560 seeing right now the weather conditions 104 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,160 this is the season in which we are now 105 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,600 last year we didn't have 106 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000 the vaccination yet and we had the same 107 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,199 number of cases 108 00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:47,759 nevertheless 109 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,000 optimistically those two elements have 110 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,040 come together 111 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,120 on the one hand there is the ongoing 112 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,960 vaccination process 113 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,680 in poland 114 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,639 we have already vaccinated almost 25 115 00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,840 million doses 25 million doses have been 116 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:11,840 distributed 117 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,960 which means there is a quite big share 118 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,560 of the population which has received at 119 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,199 least one 120 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:23,039 shot of the vaccine however all of us 121 00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:26,639 hope this vaccination 122 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:30,479 will wipe out the coronavirus pandemic 123 00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:33,520 but of course unfortunately the question 124 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,080 remains 125 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,520 whether it's going to be fully efficient 126 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,720 this is the question that 127 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,479 we are still awaiting and of course the 128 00:05:40,479 --> 00:05:41,600 answer to this question is something 129 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,240 that we have to wait 130 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,840 let me draw your attention to the fact 131 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,000 that there are a few phenomena 132 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,479 in the world which would have such a 133 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:52,960 common 134 00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:59,520 this small pathogen has attacked the 135 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,800 whole world 136 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,199 affecting not only the public health but 137 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:04,000 inflicting 138 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,319 death and suffering that first and 139 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:07,280 foremost 140 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:11,120 it shook the social sense of security 141 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,120 it shook the foundations of the global 142 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,800 economy 143 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,960 no society and no economy 144 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,800 have been able to resist that crisis 145 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,080 in this context i can 146 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,840 underline with full conviction and very 147 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,120 resolutely that the only 148 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,880 successful strategy for the 149 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,160 post-pandemic 150 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400 recovery of the world including our 151 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,960 region the region of central europe 152 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,240 is the one which foresees what i have 153 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,240 already said at the outset of my speech 154 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,120 global solidarity global understanding 155 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,840 and global cooperation is the 156 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,840 precondition 157 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,039 and its consequences the recovery of 158 00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:00,840 economists is going to be much more 159 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:03,840 difficult 160 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880 global economic organism is not fully 161 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,919 recovered 162 00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:13,520 that is why solidarity also in sharing 163 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,840 access to vaccines 164 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,240 is a fundamental importance in the fight 165 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,319 against the coronavirus pandemic 166 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:25,680 ladies and gentlemen the leaders are 167 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,240 currently facing huge challenges 168 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,680 first of all they have to take care of 169 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,199 the well-being of the societies which 170 00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:34,400 they represent 171 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,360 they have to go above particularistic 172 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,800 interests and find themselves the 173 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,240 readiness to demonstrate solidarity 174 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,759 has to be avoiding of new divisions into 175 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:48,400 the better 176 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280 and worse ones into the richer and the 177 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,240 poorer ones 178 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,160 into those vaccinated and those not 179 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,680 vaccinated 180 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,120 this is our common fight which requires 181 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,080 revisiting fundamental values christian 182 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,160 values 183 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,599 which have just been mentioned in a 184 00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:08,160 beautiful way by his holiness 185 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,160 pope francis 186 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,319 we need to think about humanistic roots 187 00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,680 which are so important to all of us 188 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,680 the second fundamental challenge we're 189 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,639 facing is acknowledging the paradigm 190 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:25,360 of unavoidability to confront problems 191 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,000 which 192 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,319 existed also before the outbreak of the 193 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:29,360 pandemic 194 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,440 and which have not gone away that's 195 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,719 obvious 196 00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:35,919 let us just look at the neighborhood 197 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,799 in the european union russia is 198 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,320 continuing its actions 199 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,360 and it has announced further steps of 200 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,080 the character of 201 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,480 imperial pressure it interferes into 202 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,480 internal affairs of other states 203 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,480 it violates the financial foundations of 204 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,839 international law also vis-a-vis its own 205 00:08:52,839 --> 00:08:55,839 citizens 206 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,680 and increasingly unpredictable actions 207 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,279 of the belarusian regime 208 00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:06,640 we have got the oppression 209 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,920 we have got the uh limitation of any 210 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,399 kind 211 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,920 of civic freedom we have got people in 212 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:14,880 prisons 213 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,920 since 2018 the destabilized libya 214 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,800 is an arena of war operations and the 215 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:21,440 target of 216 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,519 hybrid actions the countries in the 217 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:24,800 south of europe 218 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,519 for many years have been struggling with 219 00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:31,440 the ongoing migration crisis 220 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:37,839 constitutes a permanent threat 221 00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:49,040 uh the global fighting of the virus 222 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,040 or defeating the virus but let us also 223 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,040 remember about other 224 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,480 illnesses such as authoritarianism 225 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,640 imperialism a violation of international 226 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,680 law and human rights 227 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,440 these are realistic problems which did 228 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,839 exist before the pandemic 229 00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:19,839 distinguished guests 230 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,560 values are a fundamental thing however 231 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,160 let us not forget that while talking 232 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,839 about security we also need to talk 233 00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:29,600 about the costs 234 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,320 security is an investment and in this 235 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,519 very context 236 00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:36,959 economy is of key importance fast 237 00:10:36,959 --> 00:10:39,920 recovery of the economies affected by 238 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,720 the crisis 239 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,200 is very important but what is even more 240 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,240 important is the model 241 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,720 of such recovery the post-pandemic 242 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,680 economic 243 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,040 order has to adopt as its departure 244 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,640 on the one hand coming back to the path 245 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,240 of dynamic growth on the other hand 246 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,279 however 247 00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:59,040 resilience however first and foremost 248 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,200 i would like to express my conviction 249 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,560 that 250 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:05,200 these two factors have to be correlated 251 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,839 with one another 252 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,800 for i have no doubt whatsoever that the 253 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,120 growth 254 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,279 in other words the improvement of 255 00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:16,720 economic situation 256 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,720 the improvement of the welfare of the 257 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120 societies by the same token is going to 258 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:21,519 build 259 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:24,320 resilience in order to obtain this 260 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,000 resilience in order to equip 261 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,200 our economies with tools which are going 262 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,320 to 263 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040 amortize the future possible effects on 264 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,240 future economic shocks 265 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,720 we have to revise our so far way of 266 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,600 thinking 267 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,160 about the network of global financial 268 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480 interdependencies trade and investment 269 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,680 interdependencies 270 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,519 alike the discussion concerning these 271 00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:52,160 problems is in the pipeline and it's 272 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,760 very well known 273 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,440 the conclusion is from our so far 274 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,000 experiences and let me just remind you 275 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,399 that this has been the second global 276 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,240 crisis that has affected us in the last 277 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,680 10 years or so 278 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,760 have been accounted for in the european 279 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,399 recovery instrument next generation eu 280 00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:12,639 as well as international 281 00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:14,639 recovery plans developed by member 282 00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:16,560 states this is important 283 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:18,880 that in the public debates there is a 284 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,600 thinking 285 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,560 about the need to give an impulse to 286 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:23,839 stimulate a production within the 287 00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:25,440 european union 288 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760 the effects of which will also be the 289 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,639 shortening of 290 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,519 supply chains which on the other hand 291 00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:33,760 will generate more security 292 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,120 i wrote about it in a letter which i 293 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,560 addressed to european leaders more than 294 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:37,360 one year ago 295 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,480 and i'm happy that a lot of 296 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,360 please from that letter today constitute 297 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,680 the content of the european union's plan 298 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,160 developed to recover after the pandemic 299 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,279 i'm also happy 300 00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:50,480 that we express care for future 301 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,480 generations this is expressed among 302 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,279 others by 303 00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:56,800 sustainable approach to climate policy 304 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,279 taking into account elements of social 305 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,959 and development policy 306 00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:02,959 in other words something that we have 307 00:13:02,959 --> 00:13:06,320 called just transition 308 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,040 i have no doubt whatsoever that the 309 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,959 recovery model adopted by poland 310 00:13:10,959 --> 00:13:13,680 based on a broad scale program of 311 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:14,639 infrastructure 312 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:17,920 public investments investments in the 313 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,320 private sector profound 314 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,440 energy and digital transformation and 315 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,920 better effectiveness and accessibility 316 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,120 of the public 317 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,200 sector of the public health services 318 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,240 will 319 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,880 generate a new economic architecture and 320 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,000 architecture which will 321 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,200 allow us to develop further 322 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,920 in an unlimited way at the same time my 323 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,560 homeland 324 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,199 will be resilient to the future possible 325 00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:45,920 global shocks 326 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,399 i would like to stress very powerfully 327 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:50,000 that this is the priority leading my 328 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,399 second term in office as president 329 00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:55,600 which was called 330 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,680 dude in the last year's presidential 331 00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:59,680 campaign and today 332 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,399 it makes part of the polish governmental 333 00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:03,360 program 334 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,480 which is described as a new order 335 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,720 or finally as a polish order 336 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,760 a big enthusiasm is reflected among 337 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,720 others by objective analysis last week 338 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,920 the world bank has revised 339 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,199 the gdp of poland the foreign caste is 340 00:14:23,199 --> 00:14:26,800 now 3.8 this year 341 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,800 and 4.5 in 2022 342 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,320 a similar opinion has been expressed 343 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,920 also by the european commission which in 344 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,560 mid 345 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,360 may increased the assessed dynamics of 346 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,720 growth of poland 347 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,839 up to four percent of gdp in 2021 348 00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:47,600 and up to 5.4 percent in 2022. 349 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,000 this model will also make part of a 350 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,440 broader recovery plan 351 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,199 thanks to which our region is going to 352 00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:55,760 be one of the most robustly developing 353 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,480 ones 354 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,959 the expected growth of gdp in central 355 00:14:58,959 --> 00:14:59,680 europe 356 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,880 is supposed to amount to four point six 357 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,920 percent in the nearest future 358 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:12,240 all of us that is foreign 359 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,639 the essential question of this debate 360 00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:16,480 namely if there is any 361 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,800 unique extraordinary way for the 362 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,320 countries of our region to 363 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,360 recover post pandemic 364 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,680 i can say with full conviction and full 365 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,639 responsibility 366 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:30,399 yes i do believe there is such a path 367 00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:32,639 not just for one state of the region for 368 00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:33,600 the states 369 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,880 of the region as a certain community 370 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,920 as an element of a 371 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,759 big community that is of the european 372 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:44,160 union 373 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,920 this plan i'm referring to this idea 374 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,440 this path 375 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,680 i believe is the three cities initiative 376 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,880 which is the format of regional 377 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,360 cooperation 378 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,120 which is complementary to the european 379 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,639 union integration and 380 00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:01,440 which speaks about tightening strategic 381 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,240 cooperation 382 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,600 across the atlantic we are lucky 383 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,959 that this area we are talking about 384 00:16:08,959 --> 00:16:12,639 central europe is inhabited by nations 385 00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:14,880 who are extraordinarily ambitious 386 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,600 hardworking and creative by nature 387 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,279 nations which have gone through many 388 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:22,560 experiences nations are not afraid of 389 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,000 challenges 390 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,639 we want to harness this positive energy 391 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:27,120 which is 392 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,519 permeating the entire 36 region the 393 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:31,040 initiative is developing 394 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,600 we are equipping it with ever newer 395 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,040 instruments and mechanisms 396 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,759 which define its subsequent 397 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:40,000 functionalities and give it the veiler 398 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,120 valor of full maturity currently the 399 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,560 most important 400 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,440 tool which supports its aims is the free 401 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,639 sys investment fund 402 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:50,800 thanks to which we have started to 403 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,839 co-finance 404 00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:54,079 projects on the regional scale however 405 00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:56,560 there are also other tools 406 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,600 ce plus index 407 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,199 3cs region forum combined with 408 00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:07,119 the economic congress as well as the 409 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,280 three seas business forum organized 410 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,799 every year in the marriages of the 411 00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,359 subsequent summits 412 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,240 we can see a big interest in cooperation 413 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,919 with the three cities initiative on part 414 00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:19,439 of their external partners 415 00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:23,599 japan greece great britain 416 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,160 not to mention that our strategic 417 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,199 partners 418 00:17:27,199 --> 00:17:29,360 for many years now right from the 419 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:30,880 inception we can say 420 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,039 have been european institutions the 421 00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:34,480 united states of america 422 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,120 and germany germany 423 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,320 developed country from the 424 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,919 infrastructure point of view not only in 425 00:17:43,919 --> 00:17:45,280 the european union but across 426 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,919 the whole europe one of the absolutely 427 00:17:47,919 --> 00:17:48,400 best 428 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,000 developed countries if not the best 429 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,679 developed country in the world 430 00:17:51,679 --> 00:17:53,360 i profoundly believe in the sense of 431 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,440 this cooperation i consider it the 432 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,280 thrist's initiative 433 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,679 to be the most
