FROM CRISIS, BUILD STABILITY
 
“Cooperation for Building a More Inclusive World”

In our world, unforeseen events, whether occurring simultaneously or at different times, in the realms of natural, economic, social, and political developments, occasionally escalate into regional or global crises. In a world that has become a global village, the quest for stability necessitates cooperation among countries.
 
While climate change and global warming ring alarm bells for the world, failure in addressing these issues promptly can set traps of crisis, such as shortages in food, water, minerals, and raw materials, as well as challenges in providing uninterrupted and sustainable energy, resulting in high inflation or stagnation in the economy. Discussions on how to break the cycle of poverty, overcome the middle-income trap, and ensure economic and social welfare for every country and individual will be part of the sessions at the 27th Eurasian Economic Summit.
 
The second decade of the 21st century has brought the economic, social, and political repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic to the forefront of the global agenda. The threats facing the economy, democracy, and the legal system underscore the need for effective crisis management solutions, as an inability to address these issues in ways that benefit humanity could lead to a widespread humanitarian crisis.
 
Technology has had a significant impact on addressing pandemics and public health crises. In this regard, we will respectfully acknowledge the contributions of Turkish doctors Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci, who have placed the necessary vaccines at the service of humanity in the fight against the pandemic.
 
We are witnessing the multifaceted negative effects of the Russia-Ukraine war in various areas, particularly in food and energy security. Ongoing conflicts in Syria, the Caucasus, Africa, tensions in the Taiwan Strait in Asia, terrorism in Lebanon and Iraq, tragedy in the Palestine, and irrational behavior in Afghanistan are all occurring simultaneously. All of these events are contributing to a deepening polarization in the world and providing new market opportunities for countries, big and small, in the defense industry.
 
Another consequence of war and conflict is the refugee crisis. In today's world, involuntary migration continues to increase, driven by displaced individuals seeking better living conditions, a desire for greater freedom, and escaping thirst, hunger, and poverty. Therefore, the refugee crisis is also considered a separate component of the crises we are experiencing and will be addressed at the 27th Eurasian Economic Summit. The focus will be on how to find solutions to the ongoing humanitarian crisis and how we can contribute to the construction of "sustainable peace" in the world.
 
This brings us back to the issue of halting the erosion of trust and rebuilding trust, which has been eroded within a country’s own people, with its neighboring countries in the region, and ultimately on the international stage.
 
We will explore how the world can overcome the claims of Fukuyama's "End of History," Brzezinski's "Grand Chessboard," and Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations." These questions will be on the agenda of the 27th Eurasian Economic Summit.
