Pointing out that 2025 will mark the 20th anniversary of the Alliance of Civilizations, Fidan stated, “We have formed a strong community based on diversity and mutual respect and in defence of one humanity against the rising tide of mistrust, misperceptions and hatred.” / Photo: AA Archive
“We cannot take the alliance or the values it aims to promote for granted,” he said, adding that the vision of the alliance is facing growing challenges from all sides. “As members of this group of friends, I encourage all of you to strengthen ownership of our vision at multilateral and national fora, we can, for instance, consider reviving the alliance's regional forums,” said Fidan.
He highlighted that the alliance's determination in the past 20 years has resonated with the international community and harnessed support, adding that its visibility and efficiency within the UN system are strengthened.
