President of UN General Assembly 73rd session: Azerbaijan has become a vital reference point for dialogue and effective diplomacy

The theme of this year’s Global Baku Forum, “Bridging Divides in a World in Transition,” is highly relevant to the current global context, as it directly corresponds to the realities we are experiencing, said María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, President of the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly at a press conference dedicated to the Global Baku Forum.

“Despite the tense and dangerous situation in the region, the Forum will bring together over 350 thinkers, politicians, parliamentarians, and heads of state and government from across the world, which clearly demonstrates the importance of the Forum. Azerbaijan has become a vital reference point for dialogue and effective diplomacy. Therefore, I call on everyone to follow the discussions and dialogues carefully, and to listen to the messages of optimism and hope that resonate in a world which often appears divided,” María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés added.
