The Global Citizen: international cooperation
The Need for Allies to Work Together to Address Global Issues
At an event on transatlantic relations sponsored by the Brookings Institution on Thursday, November 18th, policymakers from Europe and the United States expressed agreement on one key point: the need for nations to work together to solve global problems that no one nation can solve alone. If that idea sounds familiar, it’s because it’s one of the core beliefs of Citizens for Global Solutions.
President Barack Obama gave his first speech in front of the United Nations General Assembly this morning. President Obama pointed out that "speeches alone will not solve our problems." He called for the international community to share the responsibility of tremendous global challenges that face us all.
The United States Mission to the United Nations released its Progress Report last week, giving a positive outlook on future US-UN relations and US engagement on international issues. The biggest thing to take from the Progress Report is that the current administration has acknowledged that and promoted the idea that international engagement is required to meet modern threats.
