Doha Forum is to kick off its 18th edition on Saturday 15th of December featuring a new and dynamic approach. Established in 2000, the Doha Forum is a platform for global dialogue on critical challenges facing our world. The Doha Forum promotes the interchange of ideas, discourse, policy making, and action oriented recommendations. This year, in its eighteenth edition, the Doha Forum will serve as a platform to discuss the “Shaping Policy in an Interconnected World” and focus on four essential themes (Security, Peace and Mediation, Economic Development, and Trends and Transitions).

The 2018 Doha Forum targets bringing together political figures, thought leaders, governmental agencies, and civic society organizations with the aim of facilitating dialogue about how conscious policymaking can guide us to global tomorrow. The forum addresses today’s urgent issues and ways the international community can come together to solve them. The forum also highlights the modern success models and discusses possibilities to expand on them and replicate them.
