Undoubtedly, the global financial crisis has demonstrated the fragility of the world economy and generated a number of crucial questions. What are the future steps to be taken for the global economy? How are we restructuring and strengthening the financial services industry, which is the role of Europe in this process and how can the European economy flourish? 

The agenda on international relations will undoubtedly be at the forefront of world affairs in 2010. The Conference Chair Daniel Franklin, Executive Editor of The Economist, will share his vision on the developments and priorities that are shaping the global affairs.

A series of critical foreign policy and security issues will be examined during this year's Greek Government Roundtable, in the light of the need of international collaboration for world stability. Economic, foreign policy and stability issues in south-east Europe, relations between Greece and Turkey, the Arab-Israeli peace process and the Cyprus question are at the forefront of the agenda examining the way to move forward.

In addition, the 14th Roundtable with the Government of Greece aims to offer the opportunity for brainstorming among distinguished political and business leaders on the tendencies in the global energy landscape within the next decade, the future energy demand, business opportunities, technological innovations and geopolitical developments.
