BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 14. Bulgaria has
always advocated for strengthening multilateral cooperation, the
country’s Foreign Minister Georgi Georgiev said during the XII
Global Baku Forum in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
“This forum is a good opportunity to once again confirm our
consistent position in support of a multilateral approach to
solving global problems. We consistently adhere to the UN Charter,
as well as the principles and norms of international law,” the
minister said.
He also noted that finding diplomatic solutions to resolve
current conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, remains an
extremely difficult task; however, it’s necessary for ensuring
global security as a whole.
“As an EU member state, Bulgaria is committed to defending the
shared values and principles on which the European Union is based:
peace, prosperity, human dignity, democracy, good governance, the
rule of law, respect for human rights, and a commitment to dialogue
and cooperation. These values are often referred to as ‘European’
or ‘Western,’ but are they not universal? It is unlikely that any
of us would dispute their significance,” Georgiev added.
The XII Global Baku Forum has started on March 13 and will
continue until March 15, 2025.
The forum is organized by the Nizami Ganjavi International
Center and will be held under the theme “Rethinking World Order:
Turning Challenges into Opportunities”.
Discussions focus on key global issues, including geopolitical
shifts, multilateralism, the global health crisis, recovery and
regional stability, COP29, and more.
The forum has brought together over 300 world leaders from more
than 60 countries, including more than 25 former presidents, over
15 former prime ministers, around 10 UN and international agency
heads, and over 25 former ministers and deputy ministers.
