00:00Azerbaijan now highly contributes to enhancing this international cooperation between the relevant stakeholders and the relevant member states in order
00:08to enhance their existing bilateral cooperation, learn from each other and build upon the existing trust.
00:17The Baku Security Forum has become one of the world's largest platforms, bringing together senior officials from security and intelligence
00:25services.
00:26I'm very much confident that this forum will have many spin-off follow-up by relevant member states here.
00:35There are many bilateral meetings taking place.
00:37They may not be able to, or they may not need to always address all issues, but they all have
00:42one thing in common.
00:43They know that fighting terrorism, countering terrorism is a common responsibility to all, irrespective of the different political or operational
00:51views.
00:53Azerbaijan's official position on security was outlined at the event.
00:58Azerbaijan considers ensuring international peace and security, strengthening mutual trust among states and expanding cooperation among its key priorities.
01:10Our country attaches great importance to promoting dialogue on security issues and expanding mutually beneficial cooperation through various international and
01:20regional platforms.
01:23The organization of the Baku Security Forum serves these objectives by creating conditions for identifying concrete avenues of cooperation and
01:33further strengthening mutual trust.
01:35The forum has grown year on year with increasing participation and international interest.
01:41The importance lies mainly on the fact that this forum collects and brings together a big variety of services from
01:52countries with different ideology, different mentality, different civilization, but sharing some concrete concerns.
02:01The reality is that many of today's biggest security threats do not simply stop at national borders because of the
02:08nature of the types of attacks changing with technology.
02:12A cyber attack, for example, can originate thousands of kilometers away.
02:16Terror networks can operate across continents and technology is changing both the nature and speed of those threats.
02:24It's recognized that terrorist groups are taking advantage of current conflict situations in different parts of the world.
02:31The event is important. It comes at a very important moment. Over the past two decades, the international community has
02:38really been able to make a significant progress in countering terrorism.
02:44Major terrorist groups have suffered significant territorial losses.
02:53The forum also featured a side event jointly organized by Azerbaijan's State Security Service and the UN Office of Counterterrorism,
03:01focusing on strengthening national counterterrorism capabilities through operational partnerships.
03:05So how can international cooperation help? First of all, diplomacy of security.
03:13Non-traditional partners in security, now they have to work together. So you need a diplomacy of security like this
03:20forum to put non-traditional partners to work together.
03:25This is critical. This is a key element in advanced counterterrorism.
03:31Discussions highlighted the need for effective national and international coordination in addressing emerging terrorist threats linked to modern technologies, as
03:39well as the importance of the counterterrorism information exchange system developed under the Baku Security Forum.
03:44I think in today's world's perspective, security is really a great concern to all the countries and a single country
03:53cannot really fight against terrorism alone.
03:56So we need to assist each other. And that's why I think this is a good platform where we all
04:02can share our views and also share our experience so that how best we can counter the terrorism and violent
04:09extremism.
04:10Making cooperation work when a crisis hits is a challenge. And one of the main aims of this forum is
04:17to bring these agencies together. Security threats have a habit of evolving quickly.
04:22And another threat here is to encourage countries to work together to combat those future attacks.
04:29Well, I think the main thing is getting together because I think that no nation alone can handle this type
04:36of threat in the way it should. So it's very important to have this type of meetings in order to
04:42see what's happening in the cyber environment or cyber dominion.
04:46The main themes which came out of Baku were clear that national and international security is now unavoidably dependent on
04:53collaboration, communication and coordination.
04:56The main thing is to be our best as the world.
04:56The main thing is to see what's happening in our world as well is to not actually continue to live
04:56here.
04:57Yeah.
04:58The main thing is that we need to do with the best at the world, an international security and national
04:59security.
04:59Mr. Karrie Wachink , I don't make the world with what's happening at the world, and I don't create those
04:59places in any way.
04:59With only these two businesses, I think we need to be able to have a better place to see what
04:59is happening.
04:59You need to know what we need to do with this, I do not know what's happening in our world!
