Hundreds of global leaders, scholars, and media representatives gathered this week at the 3rd International Forum on Democracy to debate one urgent question: How do we build democratic systems that work for everyone? Former Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva stole the spotlight with a passionate keynote speech, urging nations to embrace dialogue over division. 🎤✨
Vejjajiva, known for his sharp political insights, highlighted the need for 'inclusive cooperation' to address challenges like inequality and climate change. 🔑 🌱 'Democracy isn’t a static model—it evolves through shared values and innovation,' he said, drawing applause from attendees representing over 50 countries and regions.
The forum also tackled hot-button topics like tech’s role in governance (think AI-powered voting systems 💻) and youth engagement. One scholar quipped, 'If TikToks can trend globally, why can’t democratic ideas?' 📱💡
