Nobody can deal with global friction alone - Mattarella

- ROME, NOV 29 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella on Monday said no country or culture can deal with current global challenges on their own.
    Speaking at the foreign ministry during the event 'Stati generali della lingua italiana' to promote the Italian language, the president said "the world in which we act is characterized by the complexity of the reality surrounding us".
    "We are dealing with challenges that no country, no culture can imagine to confront alone.
    "Crises like the ones induced by climate change, the right aspirations to an authentically fair and sustainable development, are all intersected with new global frictions and outbreaks of instability across the geographical lines between our continents", said the president.
    Mattarella urged Italians to "look at the past to make the most in the present of lessons" we have learned "even those experienced through sacrifice and pain, like the experience of the pandemic crisis".
