Baku. Victoria Dementieva â€“ APA. Azerbaijan will be among nine nations to take part in a global on-line dialogue inspired by President Barack Obama’s Cairo "New Beginnings" speech. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will host "Global Pulse" events at five different venues across the country March 30, 2010, to facilitate discussion between Azerbaijanis and citizens around the world on topics ranging from education to environment, from youth leadership to empowering women.

In Baku, the Embassy’s American Center, located at the University of Languages, will host the on-line discussions on youth leadership March 30. Azerbaijan is one of just nine countries that will participate, clearly illustrating U.S. interest in hearing what the citizens of Azerbaijan have to say. Global Pulse 2010 is a three-day virtual event, starting on March 29, aimed at bringing together thousands of people from around the globe to discuss the world’s most pressing challenges and envision solutions.

"Global Pulse is all about listening to one another and working together to build a better future," said Donald Lu, Charge d’affaires of the U.S. Embassy. "Global problems require global solutions, and President Obama has made it a priority to reach out to partners across the globe to seek fresh, new ideas."
