The annual Athens Democracy Forum organized by the New York Times, and Greek daily Kathimerini, gets under way in the Greek capital on Wednesday.
Titled “Solutions for a Changing World,” the forum, which runs through Sunday, will address whether the western spirit of openness is being replaced by walls, among other topics.
Speakers include former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, ex-PMs Kevin Rudd of Australia and Felipe Gonzalez of Spain, foreign ministers Margot Wallstrom of Sweden, Amina Mohamed of Kenya, and Hyeonseo Lee, a North Korean defector and human rights activist.
