BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12. Global challenges
make cooperation not an option, but a necessity, the
Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva, Tatiana
Valovaya, said, Trend
reports.
She made the remark at the opening of the 13th Global Baku Forum
on "Bridging Divides in a World in Transition."
"Global challenges make cooperation not an option, but a
necessity. Climate change is accelerating, exacerbating threats to
stability. Development gaps and debt problems are slowing progress
toward achieving sustainable development goals. At the same time,
rapid technological changes, especially in the field of artificial
intelligence, are transforming our economies and societies faster
than governance systems can adapt," she said.
Valovaya noted that the escalation of military action in the
Middle East is another reminder of how fragile regional security is
and how quickly crises can affect the international system,
undermining peace and security.
