Caspian Energy (CE): Your Excellency, what is your assessment of the work of such global forums as the G7, G20, and COP-27? To what extent are small countries involved in solving the global problems of the modern world order, which concern every inhabitant of the planet?
H.E. Borut Pahor, President of the Republic of Slovenia: None of the challenges we face – and we face plenty – can be solved by individual countries alone. We need to work together, and multilateralism is crucial for every country, regardless its size.
Slovenia is a part of neither the G7 nor the G20. Nevertheless, these forums serve their purpose in providing platforms for multilateral cooperation.
On the other hand, we are part of many other forums and international actions. COP27 is certainly one of the most important. It brings together political leaders from around the world, and represents a strong sign of the political will needed to address climate change and related challenges.
We in Slovenia firmly believe in multilateralism, with the UN at its core. We play an active part therein, and contribute in different ways. Currently, we are a candidate country for the UN Security Council 2024/25. We certainly do count on the support of your country as well.
