Baku: 'The world is facing a serious paradox. It has never been more multipolar. At the same time, multilateralism is probably weaker than ever,' said Charles Michel, former President of the European Council, during a press conference dedicated to the Global Baku Forum.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the forum offers an important opportunity to strengthen mutual understanding under current circumstances. Charles Michel added: 'This format, which brings together people from different fields and with diverse experiences, gives us the chance to speak together, listen to one another, and develop mutual understanding. Because mutual understanding is the starting point for making the right decisions and for building a fairer, more predictable world.'
