His Excellency Dr. Anwar bin Mohammed Gargash, Diplomatic Advisor to the President of the State, stressed that the UAE is keen to expand the platform for dialogue and exchange of views, based on its firm belief in the importance of political solutions as the most effective way to confront regional and global challenges and come up with solutions for them.
He pointed out that the UAE’s humanitarian efforts have contributed to alleviating the suffering of needy people from different countries around the world, and enhancing its initiatives, humanitarian legacy and orientations towards extending a helping hand and supporting peoples, while stressing at the same time the state’s commitment to supporting all efforts related to establishing peace and security, achieving sustainable development and reducing tensions.
This came during the keynote speech, today, Monday, at the opening of the activities and works of the first annual “Hailey Forum”, organized by the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research in cooperation with the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy in Abu Dhabi.
His Excellency Dr. Anwar bin Mohammed Gargash pointed out that the forum represents an important platform for exchanging views and a vital interaction to build bridges, enhance cooperation and discuss current issues, explaining at the same time that the UAE is keen to focus on artificial intelligence and reducing the “carbon footprint.”
The two-day forum, held under the theme “A Turbulent World Order: Reading Concepts, Formation, and Reconstruction,” addresses pressing global issues, with a special focus on the Middle East region. It brings together thought leaders, international experts, diplomats, and academics to discuss the most prominent challenges and transformations that are reshaping our world.
The first Haley Forum discusses three main axes, which are a fundamental pillar for understanding the changing global scene: the first axis is “geopolitical,” the second is “geoeconomic,” and the third is “geotechnological.”
The Forum reviews the latest analyses and strategic trends in the geopolitical, geoeconomic and geotechnological fields, and provides recommendations on public policies based on the analyses and discussions witnessed in its sessions.
The forum is named after the historic Hili area in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, in celebration of the region’s rich heritage as a cultural and civilizational meeting place dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Inspired by this rich heritage, the forum brings together a group of thought leaders and experts from around the world, representing a wide range of unique visions and perspectives on the strategic issues facing the world.
