In her speech, UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova said that UNESCO held 13 events within the framework of the forum.
She praised the forum held by Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijan, which is located between the West and the East", helps us by organizing such events. We must strengthen ties and try to implement the issues discussed here,” she said.
UN High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser noted that the intercultural and intercivilizational dialogue is becoming more significant.
"I express my gratitude to the leadership of Azerbaijan for the support rendered for this purpose. I expect that we will intensively cooperate with Azerbaijan in this direction.

Next year, the 10th anniversary of Baku process will be marked and persons who have contributed to this matter will be awarded,” he said.
