It is always a pleasure for me to come to CIGI, but perhaps never before as much as today – the weekend following the summit in Pittsburgh – for gathered here in this room are so many of those who led the movement that culminated in one of the most significant breakthroughs in the architecture underpinning global governance in recent times.
