Is "seen" necessary?

Is "seen" necessary in this example?

Is it possible to OMIT it? Or should I KEEP it to make it clearer.

(Seen) from a global viewpoint, this situation is highly unusual.

( Seen ) from a global viewpoint , this situation is highly unusual . You could omit it, and then the underlined element would a verbless clause. I'd include it.
