On
October 3, 2023, the International University of Georgia hosted the
presentation of the monograph titled "Georgian Paradigm of Peace" by

The
opening of the event and the welcoming of the Rector and the audience were
conducted by the University's Rector, Professor Giorgi Matiashvili. He
underscored the distinctive vision articulated in the monograph, highlighting
its innovative concept of University diplomacy aimed at achieving peaceful
conflict resolutions and establishing enduring peace in the complex and
contradictory Caucasus region.

gratitude for the invitation and the interest in the subject, the Rector of

diplomacy.
