(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, Sunday said the tearing down of the Berlin wall 25 years ago "changed the world forever." "Germany was reunited. And German unity in turn became a catalyst for European unity," he said in a statement.
"It was with passion and courage that the people tore down that which divided them, in search of peace, freedom, unity, democracy and prosperity," he noted.
"The fall of the Berlin wall enabled new bridges to be built between people. Today, as President of the European Commission, I see it as my task to repair the cracks in these bridges that appeared after the worst financial and economic crisis since World War II," added Juncker.
