The professors noted that the forums also included a series of political, diplomatic, trade, economic, cultural, and humanitarian events.
The international conference drew a wide range of participants, including heads of 32 states, representatives from 47 small island developing states and 49 least developed countries, as well as high-ranking UN officials and leaders from international and regional organizations, NGOs, and the private sector. The professors also highlighted the crucial role of the volunteer group, composed of students and faculty from the country's higher education institutions, in ensuring the high organizational level of the conference and its related events.
