00:16as they were so many centuries ago. Back then, he said, ignorance leads to fear, fear leads

00:26to hatred, and hatred leads to violence. This is the equation. I am sure you will agree that this

00:37equation, both simple and worrisome, can explain some of the conflicts of our time. It can also

00:46partly explain the erosion of the multilateral world. Dear friends, this conference in Seville

00:53is of enormous value, precisely because the equation that makes it happen and gives it substance

01:01is quite the opposite. What brings us to Seville for the next few days and what we expect from

01:08this conference represents a tangible source of hope for the future. In the face of deeply

01:14concerning and terrifying events and trends we are witnessing in our world, and it is certainly

01:21an uplifting and opposing equation that revives our battered confidence in humanity.
