This year’s theme, “Mapping Tomorrow, Managing Uncertainties,” highlights the urgency for nations to anticipate global risks, identify opportunities, and strengthen strategic responses in an increasingly unpredictable world.

Tanzania is represented at the forum by its Ambassador to Turkey, Iddi Seif Bakari, who is actively engaging in high-level discussions focused on peace and security developments, particularly in the West African region.

ADF2026 has brought together a wide range of participants, including heads of state, diplomats, policymakers, academics, business leaders, journalists, and civil society representatives, all working to shape responses to pressing global political and economic challenges.

The forum is expected to further strengthen international cooperation and provide a platform for countries like Tanzania to contribute to shaping global dialogue on peace, security, and sustainable development.
