President Iliana Iotova is visiting Paris, where, at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron, she will participate in the Paris Peace Forum, the President’s press secretariat announced Tuesday.
The ninth edition of the forum, which will bring together more than 350 heads of state and government, representatives of international organizations, non-governmental organizations and the business community, will be held under the theme From Sovereignty to Cooperation. The aim of today’s meeting is to highlight the need for international cooperation in resolving conflicts and addressing issues related to development, climate change and advanced technologies, the announcement added.
A key highlight of the Paris Peace Forum is the Child Summit, at which the Bulgarian President will deliver an address. The aim of the summit is to place children’s well-being and protection at the centre of the global development agenda, particularly in a context where peace faces multiple threats.
In her address, Iotova will focus on the generation growing up with artificial intelligence, the benefits and risks of using AI in schools, and the importance of developing critical thinking skills among children. The President will also present positive examples from Bulgaria of how AI is being integrated into the educational process and used to support children with special educational needs.
During her visit to Paris, Iotova is also scheduled to meet with Mathias Cormann, Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Accession to the OECD is a key priority for Bulgaria and enjoys broad political consensus.
Iotova will also hold talks with Khaled El-Enany, Director-General of UNESCO. This year, Bulgaria marks the 70th anniversary of its membership in the organization.
The President will meet with representatives of the business community from MEDEF International. MEDEF is France’s most influential employers’ organization, while MEDEF International is its specialized structure for international business cooperation, with activities spanning more than 120 countries, the announcement aaded.
In September, Iotova discussed the prospects and challenges surrounding the development of artificial intelligence in Bulgaria with representatives of the Management Board of the Artificial Intelligence Sustainable Development Alliance.
