We've made a very clear statement of solidarity with Turkey,

The fact that we are able to show solidarity among developing countries all across the issues despite difficulties ... was absolutely fundamental to arriving to an agreement on the development package.

I confirmed I was coming here last year and I didn't want to cancel it so as to show solidarity against terrorism and with Spain,

The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.

Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact, cold and impassive as the granite foundations of a skyscraper. If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental pleas for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results.

The test of our progress is not whether we add to the abundance of those who have much. It is whether we provide enough to those who have little.
