This Forum has now established itself as a unique opportunity for all stakeholders, including Member States, representatives of civil society, the United Nations, its specialized agencies and other international and regional organizations to share experiences and promote good practices with regard to the rights of persons belonging to minorities. Let me reiterate at this stage that such a dialogue between all actors is particularly essential in light of the fact that there are clearly no easy answers or one-size-fits-all solutions in this field. Since its very first session, this Forum has multiplied efforts and successfully given a voice to minorities from everywhere in the world and from totally different backgrounds, from the grassroots level to high level positions in Government. I am once again this year looking forward to hearing the voices of minority women and benefitting from their specific experiences in their overall struggle for equality. One key word to be kept in mind during the discussions will certainly be diversity. Diversity in society at large but also within minority groups. We must indeed ensure that the diverse views within all groups, including minority groups, shall be heard and taken into account.
