ISTANBUL, May 8 (Xinhua) — The 28th Eurasian Economic Summit kicked off in Istanbul on Wednesday to discuss ways to address pressing global issues such as conflicts, climate change, economic inequality and migration.
The two-day summit, themed “A More Humane World – Dialogue for a Livable World,” is organized by Istanbul-based Marmara Group Foundation for Strategic and Social Research.
Foundation President Akkan Suver described the summit as a unique platform for promoting inclusive dialogue between representatives of different countries around the world.
“In a world increasingly characterized by conflict and polarization, our theme, ‘Dialogue for a World Fit to Live in’, highlights the urgent need for civil society, reason and conscience to guide us towards peace and cooperation,” he said in his opening remarks.
The summit includes a number of sessions, including “Ecology, Economy, Energy and Artificial Intelligence” and “International Health Cooperation”, which highlight the multifaceted approach needed to address global challenges.
One of the main events of the summit will be a session on “Disaster-Resilient Cities”, where world leaders will consider ways to strengthen urban infrastructure and ensure resilience to the growing threat of natural disasters caused by climate change.
In addition, the Peace and Dialogue session will explore new approaches to peacebuilding and create opportunities for constructive dialogue in an increasingly polarized world.
