✅ 🇲🇰 Today, I addressed the opening of the 4th Cultural Diplomacy Forum “Skopje 2026”, focused on cultural diplomacy and global dialogue. 🔹 Emphasised that cultural diplomacy brings people, identities and culture back into international relations.
🔹 Highlighted its role in strengthening partnerships and long-term international positioning.
🔹 Underlined the importance of culture, education, youth, artists and diaspora in diplomatic outreach.

Tonight, I addressed the participants of the 4th Cultural Diplomacy Forum Skopje 2026, dedicated to the theme: “From Crossroads to Connections: The Cultural Diplomacy and the Future of Global Dialogue.” At a time when the world too easily resorts to the language of divisions, it is our duty to strengthen the voice of culture. We must invest in the minds where peace is born, respect the uniqueness of every nation, and build a future in which cultural differences will not be a cause of conflict, but a bridge toward lasting understanding. Cultural diplomacy is an irreplaceable dialogue — both in times of peace and in times of crisis!
