We welcome all of you to the international conference on Cyberdiplomacy, which will be hosted by Azerbaijan for the first time in the region. Today, we are at an important time in history when diplomacy and technology converge. The emergence of cyberdiplomacy is reshaping international relations, presenting both new unparalleled opportunities and urgent calls for action.

Cyberdiplomacy involves the use of diplomatic tools and initiatives to achieve goals in a complex and continuously evolving undiscovered part of cyberspace. On the example of the increasing trends in the application of next-generation technologies and the threats they bring to equality, it is clear that cyberdiplomacy is not only an option, but a necessity for strengthening international stability and security in our interconnected world. This conference proved to be a valuable catalyst for promoting partnerships, sharing knowledge, and promoting innovative solutions. We are pleased to inform you that “Participants of the International Conference on Cyberdiplomacy will be provided with an invitation and transportation for participation at the “5th Anniversary Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition” held on the same eve.
