Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) has campaigned for a multinational cooperation at the Protestant Kirchentag. In front of about 10,000 visitors in the Dortmund Westfalenhalle she said "that no country alone can master the global challenges of the 21st century". She cited migration, climate change and digitization as examples. She regretted that the current level of trust in international relations, contracts and organizations was questioned.
At the Christian meeting under the slogan "What confidence" Merkel emphasized in her speech, which was greeted with much applause, that the challenges of war and terrorism could only be dealt with internationally. In political discussions, it is important to try again and again, to trust the counterpart and never to conclude with it. It needs the willingness to start over again, without forgetting its own interests.
