Boston, December 9, 2024 – The Boston Global Forum (BGF) proudly marks its 12th anniversary, celebrating over a decade of dedicated efforts to promote global peace and security amidst a tumultuous world. Since its founding on December 12, 2012, BGF has been instrumental in advancing significant initiatives that foster innovation, collaboration, and democratic values worldwide.
One of BGF’s flagship programs, the Four Pillars for Peace and Security, brings together key global players including the United States, Japan, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and India. In today’s increasingly unstable world, the Four Pillars initiative serves as a vital framework for cooperation and strategic alignment among these influential nations. Additionally, BGF proudly incorporates the Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security, honoring the legacy of Japan’s former Prime Minister and his contributions to international stability and diplomatic relations.
Over the past twelve years, BGF has continuously contributed to these pillars by facilitating dialogue, fostering partnerships, and implementing programs that address the complex challenges facing our world. As part of its ongoing mission, BGF now calls upon the leaders of the Four Pillars nations to consolidate their efforts to maintain and enhance global peace and security. By uniting their strengths and resources, these nations can effectively counteract the threats and uncertainties of today’s geopolitical landscape.
In celebration of its anniversary, BGF is also committed to building the AI World Society – New Democracy (AIWS – New Democracy), a solid foundation aimed at reinforcing peace and security through innovative governance and technological advancements. This initiative leverages artificial intelligence to support democratic processes, enhance decision-making, and ensure resilient and adaptive governance structures.
“As we celebrate 12 years of BGF, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering a peaceful, secure, and prosperous world,” said Nguyen Anh Tuan, Co-founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of Boston Global Forum. “Our Four Pillars for Peace and Security initiative, alongside the Shinzo Abe Initiative, exemplifies our dedication to collaborative leadership and strategic partnerships. We invite leaders from the Four Pillars nations to join us in building the AIWS – New Democracy, ensuring a stable and democratic future for generations to come.”
BGF extends heartfelt gratitude to its network of partners, distinguished leaders, thinkers, innovators, and dedicated staff who have been integral to its success over the past twelve years. As BGF looks to the future, it remains steadfast in its mission to drive positive change and build a resilient global society through collaborative initiatives and groundbreaking programs.
