The closing ceremony of Peace Talk 2025 on March 26 included a review and documentation of discussion outcomes from both political-security and economic-development tracks, reinforcing the forum’s role as a platform for inclusive dialogue toward lasting peace.
The upcoming Peace Forum 2025 aims to build on this foundation, bringing together decision-makers to develop coherent short-term and long-term peace strategies that could lead to a stable and democratic federal union.
