Neoliberalism has exhausted itself. The dogma about the omnipotent market regulating and resolving everything on its own has definitely proved to be failed. The state is again taking on importance, and its role in resolving the crisis will be crucial, Mesic said at the G11 summit meeting of officials from 11 countries with medium income, that is Jordan, Ecuador, Georgia, Honduras, Indonesia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay, Sri Lanka and Tunisia.
Croatia has the status of observer in this group.
Ahead of the G11 summit, Mesic met with Amr Moussa, the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States for talks in the peace process in the Middle East and on the situation in southeastern Europe.
We have agreed that there are reasons for optimism about achieving peace in the Middle East as the new U.S. Administration led by President Barack Obama is engaged in seeking solutions, Mesic told Croatian journalists.
With his participation in the G11 summit, Mesic wrapped up the official part of his tour of Jordan. He will return to Croatia on Sunday.
On Friday, Mesic was received by Jordanian King II, and addressed a meeting of the World Economic Forum for the Middle East.
The World Economic Forum for the Middle East, which is taking place in the King Hussein Convention Centre by the Dead Sea from Friday to Sunday, has drawn over 1,400 business people, political officials and representatives of the civil society sector from 85 countries.
