BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 1. My time in Baku underscored the vital importance of dialogue and peace, Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences at UNESCO Gabriela Ramos said during the 6th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue, themed "Dialogue for Peace and Global Security: Cooperation and Interconnectivity" in Baku, TurkicWorld reports.
"Witnessing the difficulties that millions confront, my experience in Baku highlighted the critical significance of dialogue and peace. Global divides are widening, with four out of every five people facing prejudice, causing worldwide schisms. As a result of the widespread lack of trust, conversation becomes increasingly important.
The importance of hosting this forum cannot be understated. We express our gratitude to Azerbaijan for the kind reception," she said.
