On 10–11 March 2016, international leading figures in global politics are convened by the Nizami Ganjavi International Center in a game-changing event in Baku to

debate the current trends in international relations and human security. The meet-ing provides a space for current and former Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministers and leading scholars and experts to assess the current state of the world and the most pressing threats to international security and peace, and to elaborate con-

crete steps for today’s leadership to overcome these divisions.

The meeting will build on the findings from the Baku Forum of 2015, which reviewed the main challenges to the current World Order and explored options to

overcome them. Over 70 former and current world leaders gathered in Baku to dis-cuss issues of top priority such as the future of Russia-West relations, the threat of

radicalisation, the promise of reconciliation, the role of women in peace leadership, or the use of energy security and inter-faith dialogue as enhancers for dialogue

Touchdown Azerbaijan! Baku is the capital and the largest c i t y o f t h e R e p u b l i c o f Azerbaijan, as well as the largest city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region.

It is a large scientific, cultural and industrial center. Ancient foundations, a large area and population all make Baku one of the oldest and largest cities in the East.

Baku shot to prominence on the world stage for twice, and both were unlikely reasons: an oil boom in the late 19th century; and as the Eurovision host city in 2012. This eclectic post-Soviet city on the Caspian Sea, is dynamic, wealthy, and packed with intriguing oddities that will have even the most world-weary of travellers tapping their toes in glee.

All the guests will be welcomed at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport. There will be VIP ground transportation from Airport to the Hotel and in the opposite side going to the Fairmont.
