“Today, ‘democracy first, humanity first’ is the strongest mantra to move ahead. The spirit of ‘democracy first’ teaches us to take everyone along and participate in everyone’s development.

            5. On the Changing Global Challenges

            8. On Addressing Global Conflict

“This is not a time for conflict in the world; this is the time to identify the conditions that create conflict and remove them. Today there are so many challenges like terrorism, drugs, cybercrime… only by fighting them will we be able to shape the future of our coming generations.”
