Moreover, in our pursuit of peace, STI offers solutions that can mitigate conflicts before they arise.

Azerbaijan is dedicated to playing its role in this global effort, working alongside international partners to build a sustainable, resilient, and peaceful world for future generations.
The future we want is within our grasp, but we must commit to using STI as a tool for the greater good—advancing not only progress but also equity, stability, and peace for all," she added.
