So when backroom communists execute their income equality schemes, do more people become richer or poorer?
Kazahkstan’s Leader Urges Reducing Gap Between Rich and Poor
ASTANA – Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev on Friday called for an alliance of nations to fight poverty and keep the “gap between rich and poor from growing larger every day.”
The social divide is not found only in emerging countries, he said in a speech at the conclusion of the seventh edition of the Astana Economic Forum.
“There are countries in Europe experiencing the same situation,” Nazarbayev said, pointing to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy.
The closing session of the forum also featured comments from former Bulgarian President Petar Stoyanov, UN Economic and Social Council chair Martin Sajdik and the founder of Bangladesh’s Grameen Bank, Muhammad Yunus.
The UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-Moon, spoke with those attending the forum by means of a video conference, endorsing the idea of a crusade against poverty.
Sajdik said that nations must take both collective and individual responsibility.
We must learn to integrate, to work together. Interdependence should be understood “positively.” However, though the ideas are arrived at collectively, “each country must apply them in line with its own priorities,” he said.
The seventh edition of the Astana Economic Forum brought together for three days upwards of 10,000 participants from more than 150 countries.
