On May 27, the Yerevan Dialogue international conference continued with a featured conversation titled “Curators Call,” bringing together two influential voices in diplomacy and policy.
Davit Karapetyan, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, and Samir Saran, President of the Observer Research Foundation (India), engaged in a forward-looking discussion on climate, connectivity, artificial intelligence, and the future of global cooperation.
Davit Karapetyan emphasized Armenia’s strategic vision of connectivity as a tool for peacebuilding: “For Armenia, trade and connectivity are not merely economic concepts—they are pathways to lasting peace. Yerevan Dialogue creates a platform where diverse voices move us from words to action.”
Samir Saran underlined the urgency of open dialogue amid geopolitical tensions: “In an age of polarization, we need new and inclusive spaces like Yerevan Dialogue to host critical conversations. The shared values between India and Europe—democracy, pluralism, and cooperation—must continue to guide us forward.”
The session highlighted the role of emerging platforms in facilitating collaborative problem-solving across regions and disciplines, at a time when global diplomacy faces increasing fragmentation.
