War & Peace - "There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and truth are absent."

EFT 2022 | War & Peace

#cancelhate

The Economic Forum of Thrace, a Greek foundation with the mission is to bring together leading personalities of international appeal, is organizing on the 25th and 26th of June, 2022 in Samothrace, a dialogue event under the motto “Cancel hate” and inspired by Leo Tolstoy’s words from “War and Peace” that

“There is no greatness where simplicity, goodness and truth are absent.”

In the wake of the current political upheaval and escalating conflicts in the world, especially in the wider Balkan area, Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, we consider it essential to act positively and resolve these via dialogue and diplomatic means on the international law and avoid hostile confrontation.

We firmly oppose any hostile actions or restrictions between nations in conducting an honest and constructive dialogue with all the parties involved, based on mutually beneficial interests, excluding any unilateral ill-intentioned or illegitimate demands.

We welcome this year’s esteemed guests on the unique island of Samothrace.

Samothrace has once been a significant, multicultural, and diversified hub of the ancient world. Queen Arsinoe II, the ultimate symbol of women’s empowerment, left her mark here as a leader and the protector of the economy and culture. Her story is our strong motivation to rekindle the ideal of Samothrace and spread its meaning to the world.
