Barack Obama, the US president, has addressed the British parliament, saying that Western influence remains strong in the world, despite emerging world powers such as China, India and Brazil. In a speech to both houses of parliament on Wednesday, Obama said that Western powers still had a responsibility to uphold "universal rights", but stressed that this work must be done through multilateral forums like the G20. "We do this knowing the West must overcome mistrust and suspicion from many," he told the assembled British legislators, in a reference to Western support for recent pro-democracy uprisings in many countries in North Africa and the Middle East. "Ultimately freedom must be won by the people themselves, not imposed from without." Obama's speech to both houses of parliament on Wednesday was historic as it marks the first time a US president has been afforded that opportunity. |
