BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 11. The Global Baku Forum has built an international reputation and prestige over the last ten years since its establishment, former President of the UN General Assembly Vuk Jeremić told Trend on the sidelines of the X Global Baku Forum.
He stressed that this platform offered an opportunity for discussions on the crucial and relevant topics on the world agenda.
