In a world of increasing polarization and competition, it has never been more urgent for the international community to find collaborative solutions to shared challenges. Today, we are experiencing the highest number of violent conflicts since the Second World War, 2 billion people are living in conflict-affected areas and over 100 million people have been forcibly displaced.  It is in this context that the 6th edition of the Paris Peace Forum will focus on ways of seeking common ground in a world of rivalry.

This session will focus on the special case of Caucasus. Heads of State and Government from the region will talk about the current challenges, geopolitical tensions and turmoil and share their insights on possible pathways to work towards peace and prevent further conflicts.
