00:00The simple fact that we are here together and that we talk to each other, that we listen actively to
00:05each other is a demonstration that we need more collaboration, we need more cooperation and for that we need to
00:12understand better what are the various opinions around the table.
00:20Global tensions, economic uncertainty and growing pressure on international institutions are reshaping our world.
00:28In Baku, policy makers, former heads of state and leading experts have gathered for the 13th Baku Global Forum, a
00:36platform designed to explore solutions to the most pressing global issues.
00:41We face global challenges and if we face global challenges, we need global solutions and that's why this kind of
00:48forum can be inspiring moments to propose new ideas, to propose new concepts that I think can be used by
00:58leaders across the world to try to make the best possible decision.
01:04Each year, the Global Baku Forum brings together leaders, presidents, prime ministers, former leaders and presidents and decision makers from
01:13across the globe to debate challenges and to share experiences.
01:17This year's discussion centers on the future of global governance, rising geopolitical tensions and the search for new models of
01:25international cooperation.
01:27Across three days, participants discuss topics ranging from global security and energy stability to climate transition and migration.
01:36Many say these challenges are increasingly interconnected.
01:41The world of today is a world that is interconnected, a world that is interdependent, a world that requires institutions
01:50that are effective, less process and more impact, that really responds to the need of the people on the ground.
01:57The forum also reflects the growing role of regional dialogue platforms in shaping global debates.
02:07Europe needs energy from outside, there is the energy transition, of course, happening, going to more renewables, but it's not
02:15there yet.
02:16It's not possible to run a highly industrialized continent at this point in time with renewables only.
02:22So those partnerships, energy partnerships are very critical just for the existence of Europe and the importance that Azerbaijan has,
02:33the importance that this region has, cannot be underestimated for this.
02:37Another focus of the discussions is the future of global institutions and whether they're equipped to respond to emerging challenges.
02:45Ironically, maybe because Azerbaijan is not a coastal country, not a maritime country, the shipment of its oil and gas
02:56to different customers is by pipeline, by trucks.
03:00So not affected by the closure of the Hormuz Strait and all the challenges in the ship lanes, at least
03:11in the midst of the province in the region, Azerbaijan is in tranquility, alert, obviously, but hopefully it remains peaceful.
03:35I think that this conference plays an important role where heads of state and government and diplomats, academicians and also
03:45civil society representatives, media representatives are coming together, having very solid discussion and trying to provide a solution.
03:53I think that their voice will be heard.
03:59While the global Baku Forum does not formally produce policy decisions, it has become a space for experts and leaders
04:07to openly debate the direction of international cooperation.
04:12The message today to respect international law, diplomacy and dialogue could not be clearer.
04:21The most important message is solidarity, solidarity with our friends in Azerbaijan, solidarity for the challenges that they are undergoing
04:31right now and solidarity for the potential for the future.
04:37Participants attending the global Baku Forum say the world is entering a period of profound transformation, whether through diplomacy, cooperation
04:45or policy innovation, many believe open dialogue will remain essential to navigate an increasingly complex world.
04:53You say the world, Pastor Alexander, country of the major groups club to wander in the world.
04:54Please, let us take a barrier to the world fromрет.
04:54Thank you.
04:55Thank you.
