As an old-school politician, former Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel has always opposed pessimism. "I believe we should not only be optimistic but also proactive, making positive things more positive, looking at the world with a positive perspective, especially having confidence in the next generation, in the younger generation, as they are the key factor in promoting peaceful development." Finally, Wolfgang Schüssel stated that it is necessary to promote the global sharing of technology and achievements, allowing more people to escape poverty and enabling all countries to rise peacefully.
