During his recent visit to Amman, Ambassador Ortwin Hennig met with political and business leaders to further the Institute's search for common ground between the Arab and Western worlds. Key global issues and possibilities for Jordan's active participation in EWI projects were explored.
The EastWest Institute has done much to promote relations between East and West. I do not believe that an independent institution can change the world against its will. It can, however, generate new ideas, and as the Institute has done so many times, bring different parties together to the negotiation table, or it can ease tensions by initiating open debates. I believe EWI has taken the right approach.
The EastWest Institute is an international, non-partisan, not-for-profit policy organization focused on confronting critical challenges that endanger peace.
