DUBAI, March 29 (Xinhua) -- A major source of ongoing conflicts in today's world is a disagreement between the nations about which pillars the global house of the future shall consist of, said Lech Walesa, former President of Poland from 1990 to 1995 on Thursday in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Delivering a key note at the two-day International Government Communications Forum 2018 which ended today in Sharjah, Walesa said, while the former bi-polar world when the main adversaries the United States and former Soviet Union dictated the pace of global developments, "today's world is more fragmented and we do not always agree which pillars the house of the future shall consist of."
The former Polish president, an electrician by education, said that "dialogues, not tug-of-wars," were necessary to overcome issues like "racism."
"A house cannot be build based on countless different pillars, it needs a structure different parties agree on," he said.
The 74-year old Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 1983 did not comment on specific geopolitical issues, but stated that "Europe has lost some of its values."
