European leaders paid tribute this Friday to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the terrorist attacks that shook the United States. The ceremony marked another year since the world witnessed the collapse of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York.
At the event, European leaders called for the formation of an international alliance in defense of democratic values and the Western way of life. This appeal comes as a direct response to the terrorist threat that motivated the 2001 attacks.
The central message of the tribute emphasized the need for unity among European and Western nations to preserve fundamental democratic principles. The leaders stressed that terrorism represents a threat not only to the United States, but to the entire free world.
