Doha, Qatar – The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and the Director of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, Dr. Azmi Bishara, held a meeting in Doha. On the opportunity, they explored the urgent need to forge an intellectual alliance between Colombian and Arab research institutions.
The proposed collaboration arises in response to contemporary global challenges, in particular the climate crisis and advances in artificial intelligence.
The collaboration aims to address immediate problems, but also to develop theoretical and practical frameworks that will help future generations cope with global crises. It seeks to include humanitarian and ethical perspectives, at a time when the world seems increasingly divided.
The leaders agreed that the future of the world should not be determined by a handful of billionaires, but by humanity as a whole. Their vision calls for an inclusive and caring approach in which the well-being of all people takes priority. The meeting underscores both leaders’ commitment to building bridges between Latin America and the Arab world through knowledge exchange and collective problem-solving.
