Welcome addresses

Ivan Wagner, Russian test cosmonaut, Hero of the Russian Federation

May your Assembly be a step towards a world where everyone’s values are respected and everyone is taken care of. Take care of the Earth, we have only one.

Dear participants of the First World Public Assembly!

I am Ivan Wagner, Roscosmos cosmonaut, welcome you from the Cosmonaut Training Center.

From space, the planet looks like a single whole, without borders, without divisions. It is one fragile living house, common to all mankind. You have gathered to talk about the most important thing, about conscious unity, about how people of different cultures and countries can be together, hear and understand each other, and unite for a shared future.

In space, we live by this principle every day. The international crew has one goal, mutual trust and support. And we believe that if it is possible in space, then it is possible on Earth. I wish you inspiring work, bold ideas and a real dialogue. May your Assembly be a step towards a world where everyone’s values are respected and everyone is taken care of. Take care of the Earth, we have only one.
