And the document continues: “The attacks of 11 September have given rise to the most extensive international cooperation in recent decades. Countries throughout the world have made common cause against the cynical contempt for human life that inspired the attacks. This exceptional solidarity needs to be maintained and encouraged, especially through dialogue between the various cultures”. The declaration concludes by affirming: “The determination of the EU to contribute to the struggle of the international community against terrorism shall not weaken. We will remain at the side of the United States and of all the other countries in this enterprise and will strive to construct a just international order that may promote peace and prosperity for everyone”.———————————————————————————————————– Sir Europa (English) N.ro assoluto : 44 N.ro relativo : 32 Data pubblicazione : 14/09/02
