The Marmara Grubu Vakfı and İHKİB jointly held a press conference to introduce the 29th Eurasian Economic Summit.

At the press conference organized by İHKİB Vice Chairman Mehmet Kaya, İstanbul Moda Akademisi Director Cemal Bayazıt, and Dr. Akkan Suver, Dr. Suver stated:

"At the Summit, we will seek a strong response to the need for common sense and dialogue."

Highlighting that the 29th Eurasian Economic Summit will provide a strong response to the growing need for common sense and dialogue amid deepening global crises, Dr. Akkan Suver said: "Through the Eurasian Economic Summit, we aim to develop new perspectives focused on peace, democracy, economic cooperation, and social inclusiveness. For 29 years, we have brought together politicians, academics, businesspeople, faith leaders, and representatives of civil society organizations who have taken on significant roles in their countries. This year’s summit will be an important platform for understanding shifting global power balances and for building a vision of a more just future. At the summit, we will place special emphasis not only on wars and regional conflicts, but also on the role of women in peace and diplomacy processes. We will address energy geopolitics, global economic vulnerabilities, security architecture, the resilience of democratic institutions, the transformation of the European Union, and Türkiye’s position in this process from a multidimensional perspective. The rapid depletion of water and green resources will also be one of the main themes of the summit. We will discuss concrete proposals and infrastructure solutions regarding this issue, which has become a global threat with not only environmental but also economic, social, and humanitarian dimensions."

The press conference was also attended by Cafer Okray, Lale Aytanç Nalbant, Elif Arıkan Can, Mahmut Saklı, Prof. Dr. Özgür Çengel, and Sevil Kulak from the Marmara Group Foundation.
