BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 10. A distinctive feature of the Global Baku Forum is that it is a space where East and West cross, Jean Baderschneider, former Vice President of ExxonMobil told Trend on the sidelines of the Global Baku Forum.
The former vice president said that the forum offers a single platform for all countries
