The first Partners Forum for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations will take place in Istanbul on May 31 and June 1, at the invitation of Prime Minister Erdoğan of Turkey. This major event will bring together governments, intergovernmental organizations as well as businesses, foundations and individuals who have shown a strong commitment to realizing the vision of a world free from intercultural conflicts and divides, where cultural diversity is an asset and not a liability. The Forum will be co-chaired by UNSG Ban Ki-moon.
During the Forum, partners will discuss the results achieved by the Alliance and will address a number of issues including the long-term resource needs, the immediate requirements for 2012 and 2013, and the current UNAOC priorities for action, including the new projects related to the outcomes of the previous global forums. Partners will be expected to pledge financial or in kind support, or to otherwise make a commitment to action. After 5 years of operations, the conference is expected to be a turning point.
