“I thank the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, for taking the time out of his busy schedule to meet me yesterday,” said Miguel Ángel Moratinos, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, at the opening ceremony of the 12th Global Baku Forum, themed “Rethinking World Order: Turning Challenges into Opportunities,” by the Nizami Ganjavi International Center under the patronage of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, APA reports.
Miguel Ángel Moratinos stated that intolerance is increasing worldwide: “I am also working specifically against Islamophobia. I will present a plan when a UN special envoy on Islamophobia is appointed. It is not possible to restore peace in a single day; continuous effort is needed to reach the finish line. Let’s walk together on the path leading to a peaceful world.”
