While the ambitious hopes that the world has for this engagement may not materialise in full or even in part, the event's very occurrence is cause for optimism. While there has been growing concern about the dangers of isolationism and the threat of conflict, the current willingness on both sides to open up dialogue, establish cooperation, and embrace the values of global citizenship is a reminder that even the most intractable situations can be turned around. This is undoubtedly a step forward for the global community.
