Held under the auspices of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and organized by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the forum will convene in Antalya, Turkey, bringing together a diverse group of world leaders and prominent figures to address pressing international issues.
This year's ADF boasts a distinguished list of participants, including heads of state and government, ministers, diplomats, business leaders, academics, think-tank representatives, youth leaders, and media representatives. This diverse group will engage in comprehensive discussions on a range of critical topics under the overarching theme of "Advancing Diplomacy in Times of Turmoil."
According to Turkish Foreign Ministry, the forum's central theme reflects the current global landscape, characterized by an array of complex and interconnected challenges. These pressing issues include:
-Ongoing wars and persistent threats of terrorism
-Irregular migration and its complex challenges
-The rise of xenophobia and Islamophobia, jeopardizing social cohesion
-Unforeseen risks associated with the development of artificial intelligence (AI)
-The ever-present threat of climate change and its devastating consequences, including natural disasters
-Pandemics and their global impact on health, economies, and societies
-Widening socioeconomic inequalities and the struggle for inclusive development
-Erosion of trust in the established rules-based international order, impacting predictability and stability
Beyond acknowledging these existing challenges, the forum recognizes the potential for significant changes in the global landscape. With one-third of the world's population participating in elections throughout 2024, the potential impact of these democratic processes on international issues will be a key area of discussion. Additionally, concerns surrounding the spread of AI-manipulated disinformation and fake news, with the potential to disrupt and undermine democratic processes, will be a crucial topic for consideration.
Recognizing the limitations of traditional diplomatic frameworks in addressing these multifaceted challenges, the ADF 2024 aims to explore innovative approaches. The forum will delve into the question of how diplomacy can be most effectively utilized in this era of "turmoil" to foster dialogue, build trust, and find peaceful solutions to global problems.
By providing an interactive and thought-provoking platform, the ADF 2024 aspires to facilitate meaningful dialogue and collaboration among distinguished participants. This exchange of ideas and perspectives aims to pave the way for collective action in tackling the critical challenges facing the global and regional communities, ultimately promoting peace, stability, and sustainable development.
