BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12. It is necessary to
combat aggressive nationalism, former Slovak Foreign Minister Jan
Kubiš said, Trend
reports.
He made the statement at the 13th Global Baku Forum on "Bridging
Divides in a World in Transition."
“Many people now say that the rules-based international order is
over. But most countries remain committed to an order based on
rules, norms, and obligations. Only a small number of major powers
are deliberately violating the rules-based international order,” he
said.
According to him, it is necessary to combat aggressive
nationalism, as well as conservatism in a negative sense.
“I don't think we should oppose conservatism, which is based on
the natural traditions of each country. We must not confuse
nationalism with patriotism. However, excessive, exaggerated
nationalism is a problem,” Kubiš said.
