The president travelled directly from India to the World Economic Forum, a gathering of business and government leaders, in Davos, Switzerland, using his speech to the forum to set out Indonesia's vision for "21st century globalism", which calls for co-operation between developed and developing economies. He underlined the important role of the G20 group and regional organisations, such as ASEAN, in fostering international co-operation, and highlighted the main challenges for globalism: rising food prices and their impact on poverty, hunger and social and political stability; peace and security, including non-traditional threats, such as disease and terrorism; and the urgent need for transition to low-carbon development in response to climate change. The president also held bilateral meetings with the UK prime minister, David Cameron, the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, as well as with a former US president, Bill Clinton, and a former UK prime minister, Tony Blair.
