5th Edition of Paris Peace Forum

The fifth edition of the Paris Peace Forum is being organized.

What is Paris Peace Forum?

The Paris Peace Forum is a French non-profit organization established in 2018. It hosts annual gathering of world leaders and heads of international organizations as well as leaders from civil society and private sector from across the world. The goal of the annual event is not to directly address international conflicts but to offer an international arena for initiating dialogue between a multitude of both private and civil society actors. Each year, the forum showcases projects that provides concrete and effective solutions to governance challenges.

It completes the existing world agenda of multilateral gathering by specifically focusing on global governance-related issues. Economic and financial issues are dealt at the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland) and security issues at the Munich Security Conference.
