Description
Summary:Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank Group, spoke on the theme of modernizing multilateralism and learning from military history. As the world moves toward multiple poles of growth, the multilateral institutions will need to play a role in connecting developed and developing countries to work cooperatively.

We need thought plus action.
