The Istanbul Declaration, which expressed concern over the rising unrest and uncertainties in many parts of the world, was unanimously adopted by the meeting. And the meeting also highlighted the significance of maintaining the unique role of political relations and cooperation between political parties by fostering communication and cooperation between political parties in Asia and around the world for peace, security, prosperity, and development.

Although Bangladesh is still a developing country that is no match for global giants, they believe that their small footsteps can multiply the influence of global peace talks and change the world for the better.
