Mykolas Romeris University hosted a public lecture by Jonathan Glennie, founder of Global Nation and a well-known scholar in the field of international development and global cooperation, entitled "The Future of Global Cooperation is Circular".

During the lecture, the renowned scholar presented the concept of circular cooperation, a ground-breaking initiative that he developed in collaboration with world-renowned experts.

The lecture emphasised that the future of global cooperation is circular and that only by working together, not only developed countries but also developing countries can achieve their goals and make the world a better place.

"Making the world a better place is not just about improving the situation in poor countries. It is also about caring for the environment, resolving international conflicts, and working together to prevent the future recurrence of global problems like the COVID-19 pandemic, which directly affect the entire globe," said Mr. Glennie.

According to Mr. Glennie, there are three principles that could help prevent or quickly resolve global problems. All contribute, all benefit, all decide. With these principles, countries can come together to turn national progress into international benefits, to replace charity with investment, and to replace "Us and You" with "We".

Mr. Glennie's lecture in the Kapuscinski Development Lecture Series is a project funded by the European Commission and the United Nations Development Programme.
