Change language:
The Planet Budapest 2021 Sustainability Expo and Summit got under way at the Hungexpo in Budapest on Monday evening, with President János Áder and Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda opening the event.
In his inaugural speech, Áder said everyone must bear responsibility for the future, and he quoted Hungarian writer Sándor Márai with the exhortation: “Take care not to miss the moment”. Referring to concert performances opening the event, the president said the young artists from four countries had not missed the moment.
“For those of us gathered in Budapest to take responsibility for our common future, our task … is to give these young people a better world to live in; better than it otherwise would be.”
Áder said that hopefully the expo and summit would provide a venue for “a meaningful exchange of ideas” and a springboard for further work.
