The thing about Davos is, you never know who you're going to meet. For example, hello. How are you, handsome? How are you, sir? Alive.

[00:00:29] Speaker 1: Good to see you, ambassador. Oh, and look at this. Good to see you. Head of the World Bank. How are you, Mr. Prime? I'm very good, sir. Nice to see you again. And that, in a nutshell, better than anything else I can show you, is why you come to Davos. You come to meet people exactly like that.
