Bled, Slovenia, September 04 (QNA) – Bled Strategic Forum, hosted by Bled city for the 7th time and held under the title Europe and the Reshaped World Order. HE Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Khalid bin Mohamed Al-Attiyah, HE Qatar’s Ambassador to Germany, Abdulrahman Mohamed Al-Khulaifi, who is also Qatar’s non-resident Ambassador to Slovenia, attended the forum.
Earlier Monday, HE Dr. Khalid bin Mohamed Al-Attiyah met with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia Karl Erjavec, on the sidelines of the Bled Strategic Forum.
During the meeting, they reviewed the relation between the two countries and ways to develop them.
The forum was opened earlier Sunday by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia Karl Erjavec, who highlighted in his key address the pressing need for solutions to the financial and economic crisis and to restore confidence in the European institutions.
Europe is currently at a difficult stage – perhaps the most complex since the early days of the European integration process, said Minister Erjavec. Geopolitical changes, combined with the global economic and financial crisis, are raising many questions, but also opening up new opportunities. The Minister stressed that, “Ending the economic, financial and debt crises is an absolute priority.”
This year’s edition brings together over 400 representatives from the world of politics, the economy, science and civil society from over 50 countries to discuss the role of crisis-ridden Europe in the new multi-polar world, the post-revolutionary Arab region, and the European perspective for the Western Balkans.(QNA)
