00:00El potencial del Fórum es reflejado en los nombres de los participantes.
00:07Tenemos más de 50 líderes de Estado y gobierno de diferentes países.
00:13Así que personas con gran experiencia, conocimiento y experiencia.
00:18Y, por supuesto, como podemos ver desde la sesión abierta,
00:22hay una combinación de opiniones.
00:25Y no coinciden, lo que es bueno.
00:28Estoy seguro que en los paneles, los discusiones serán aún más.
00:33Así que el Fórum siempre genera ideas y es muy instrumento
00:39en elaboración de nuevas propuestas a las cuestiones internacionales.
00:51El 12th Global Baku Forum abrió en Gulestan Palace en Azerbaiján
00:55a una audiencia completa como la conferencia continúa año a año.
01:00Este año fue rethinking world order,
01:02turning challenges into oportunidades.
01:05Y con geopolitics dominando las headlines en el mundo,
01:08en el mundo.
01:09There was plenty to discuss.
01:11I do believe that nowadays what we are facing as a biggest challenge is that we are in crossroads
01:19of defending our values of defending our values that we cherish.
01:26Freedom, democracy, human dignity, justice.
01:32It's something that we have to protect.
01:39And nowadays there are those values that are under the test.
01:45Tested by the conflicts, tested by the immigration, tested by the war, tested by the misinformation.
01:55So we have to protect our values.
01:59President Bigaj went on to discuss his hopes for Albania joining a unified EU.
02:04Albanians have 34 years dreaming and aspiring to be a European country.
02:11All the 6 Western Balkan countries, I think, have to have that aspiration.
02:19We strongly believe that the European Union is a project of peace, prosperity, sustainable development and security.
02:33Not only for Albania, but for the entire region.
02:36Speakers shared their thoughts on rebuilding for peace, post-conflict reconstruction and regional stability,
02:42something pertinent to the South Caucasus.
02:45It's important to protect the region from any crises around us.
02:51Unfortunately, the region of South Caucasus for decades was an area of confrontation and hostility.
02:58So now we have relatively quiet periods, so we need to concentrate on that,
03:04to build security mechanisms that will be inclusive,
03:10to eliminate any threat of another military confrontation,
03:17and to try to live in neighborhoods as we used to in the times of the Soviet Union.
03:25Yes, we were not independent countries.
03:27We could not actually plan our future.
03:30In our future, we were largely dependent on the Soviet center,
03:35but at least there was active interaction between the South Caucasian republics.
03:42For this region, it's very important not to be late,
03:47with respect to geopolitical transformation,
03:51and to concentrate on our regional problems and regional opportunities.
03:57And the challenge of stability wasn't limited to the South Caucasus.
04:02Former President of Montenegro Milo Dukanovic discussed the issue further afield.
04:07This is definitely a challenge for the region, and it is a permanent challenge for the Western Balkans.
04:15The fact is, we have missed the opportunity in the last few decades,
04:22when there was an opportunity for the Western Balkans to quickly integrate in the EU,
04:26secure its stability, and define a democratic perspective.
04:32This is the challenge for political decision-makers in the Western Balkans.
04:37But in my opinion, it's about the future of Europe in the new geopolitical context.
04:42The forum drew to a close after three days of successful interaction and debate,
04:47with a general consensus that it continues to foster a deeper understanding
04:51of today's global challenges and potential solutions moving forwards.
