BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12. The world is
changing rapidly and fundamentally, said Željka Cvijanović, member
of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the opening of
the 13th Global Baku Forum, focused on “Bridging Divides in a World
in Transition," Trend reports.
“Political, economic, technological, and social transformations
are unfolding deeply and extensively. In these circumstances,
strong connections, partnerships, and cooperation are more
necessary than ever. Those of us from post-socialist societies know
that every transition comes with challenges, uncertainty, and
serious difficulties. Yet every crisis also creates opportunities,
if we are wise enough to combine our resources to develop better
solutions for our countries individually and for the region and the
world collectively,” she added.
Cvijanović emphasized that this turbulent period of global
change also provides a chance to restore order in international
affairs.
“Over the past three decades, we have witnessed injustice and
hypocrisy among global elites, particularly in the West, who have
too often abused the very values they claim to uphold,” she
said.
She highlighted the essential role of dialogue, noting that it
is critical for every civilized political community, as well as for
each region and the world at large.
“To effectively address domestic and global divisions, it is
necessary first to understand their root causes. Equally important
is the willingness to listen to one another and acknowledge
differing perspectives, rather than dismissing them,” Cvijanović
concluded.
