"Our main goal is to support public initiatives that meet the strategy of cooperation between peoples in the context of the formation of the contours of the New World. Therefore, in addition to the formats of plenary sessions, an important part of the project preparation for us is the search for and support of public initiatives around the world so that they are presented at the Assembly and find an opportunity for scaling, expanding international participation, so that people with authority and influence learn about them," noted the Deputy Chairperson of the General Council of the Eurasian and African Peoples' Assembly, speaking about the World Public Assembly.
A clear confirmation of the serious work of the International Organizing Committee and the competition jury of the “Leader of People’s Diplomacy” can be the fact that its laureates from France and Finland were also invited to the meeting, and not everyone has the opportunity to take part in such events.
"Today we have created an international community of people's diplomats, which includes more than 100 graduates of our project, and this is no less than 100 international projects that they represent and more than 20 international projects that have already appeared in the process of developing the community. In total, no less than 120 international projects under the umbrella of the competition and the Assembly in three years ," the project coordinator shared some of the results.

Representatives of Mexico, Indonesia, Spain, Germany, Egypt, Tunisia, Russia, Moldova, Romania, Abkhazia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries have participated and won.
