We are delighted to present you with an overview of our various activities and priorities from the past year. At a time of constant change and new global challenges, we remain true to our goal of incorporating fresh perspectives and innovative approaches into our work, promoting dialogue on current issues and cooperating closely with our participants and colleagues in Berlin in order to develop effective seminars and programmes. This strengthens our diplomatic relations, helps expand our network and fosters global cooperation.
A key priority for us is to promote open dialogue which helps us to understand different perspectives, build bridges and overcome misunderstandings. Whether in person or online, our programmes and seminars create space for constructive exchange as well as permanent professional and personal ties that transcend geographical and cultural borders.
In light of global challenges, we are more convinced than ever that dialogue and cooperation between nations is vital if we are to find common solutions and jointly build a peaceful future.
