The Doha Forum and the International Peace Institute (IPI) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on developing content to address issues related to global governance and help shape the agenda of the Doha Forum's annual flagship event, scheduled to be held from December 7-8, under the theme of 'The Innovation Imperative'.
Under the MoU, the IPI joins the Doha Forum's expanded network of partners, which includes world-class research centres in the US, Europe, and the Middle East, as well as Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
The MoU was signed on behalf of the Doha Forum by the general manager Maha al-Kuwari, and by IPI president Prince Zeid bin Ra'ad al-Hussein, President of the Institute.
Commenting on the partnership with the IPI, al-Kuwari said that the Doha Forum regularly participates in global discussions, culminating in a new edition of the Forum in December each year in Doha.
In light of the Forum's strengthening presence and its partnerships around the world, she said, the forum is pleased to work with the IPI and advance the critical dialogue that affects us all.
Prince Zeid pointed out that the Doha Forum and the IPI have common goals centred around promoting dialogue and inspiring innovation to address the most pressing and interconnected challenges facing us around the world.
He voiced his gratitude for the partnership with the Doha Forum, which will enhance the objectives of the Institute and the Forum by organising joint activities and events, including organising the event held on the sidelines of the opening of the United Nations General Assembly in 2024, which will share key ideas of the Doha Forum with the international relations community in New York to pave the way for practical discussions to be held during the Forum next December.
