The Ambassador of the Plurinational State of Bolivia to the Republic of Portugal, Roberto Calzadilla Sarmiento, represented Bolivia at the Forum, held from November 25 to 27, 2024, where delegates from 130 countries participated to discuss the latest challenges and solutions for the future.
In his speech, he stressed that โthe Forum constitutes a propitious space to reflect on the urgent need to rebuild trust and redesign our common future in peace in order to live well.โ
He thus reaffirmed โthe importance of an approach with more spaces for multilateral dialogue and collaborative understanding in a world marked by growing challenges, war conflicts, an unacceptable ongoing genocide, intolerance, neocolonialism, disagreements, the deterioration of respect for human rights, violation of international law and increasing inequalities.โ
He also stated that โit is imperative to make efforts to end the genocide in Gaza and the full recognition of the State of Palestine, but it is also essential to eliminate colonialism.โ
