Open Forum: What Is the Role of Business in Areas in Turmoil?
Companies operating in countries troubled by war or low-intensity conflicts are faced with many challenges.
The agenda points are:
1) How can companies best develop their business activities and at the same time contribute to regional development and preserve the security of the community?
2) What are the imperatives that companies should respect in order to contribute most effectively to conflict prevention?
