### Interview with Professor Franco Borruto at the European Gynecology Congress in Riga 
*March 22 2025 – Riga, Latvia*

**Interviewer**: Good morning, Professor Borruto. It’s a pleasure to speak with you here in Riga at the European Gynecology Congress. This event has drawn over a thousand attendees despite the geopolitical tensions in the Baltic region. How do you interpret this turnout?

**Professor Franco Borruto**: Good morning, and thank you for having me. The turnout is extraordinary and deeply meaningful. To see a thousand professionals gather here in Riga, in a moment of regional uncertainty, is a powerful statement. It’s not just about science—it’s about solidarity, culture, and the resilience of the human spirit. I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved, and I believe it reflects the strength of the Baltic people, whom I’ve come to hold dear.

**Interviewer**: You’ve expressed a personal connection to the Baltics. Could you elaborate on that?

**Professor Borruto**: Absolutely. I’ve been involved in fostering collaboration between Monaco and the Baltic states for years, and this congress is a culmination of that effort. I call them “my Balts” with affection because I’ve witnessed their dedication and warmth firsthand. This event feels like a homecoming of sorts, and I was genuinely moved by the enthusiasm here. It’s a privilege to contribute to their scientific community.

**Interviewer**: The congress has been hailed as a success under your leadership. What do you attribute that to?

**Professor Borruto**: It’s a collective triumph. The organizing team, led by figures like Professor Andrea Genazzani, the Congress President, has been exceptional. The support from local leaders—Latvia’s Minister of Health, Hosams Abu Meri, and the diplomatic presence of figures like the French Ambassador and Italy’s Ambassador—has elevated the event. It’s a synergy of expertise and goodwill. My role has been to bridge these worlds, drawing on my experience in Monaco, Italy, and France, but the success belongs to everyone involved.

**Interviewer**: Speaking of bridges, you’ve often highlighted the values of France in your work. How do they play into this congress?

**Professor Borruto**: France’s greatness lies in its commitment to protecting the weak and upholding human rights—values enshrined in the Declaration of the Rights of Man. I see those principles reflected here. This congress isn’t just about advancing gynecology; it’s about ensuring that knowledge serves humanity, especially in challenging times. That’s a legacy I’ve carried from my French honors, like the Academic Palms, and it resonates with the Baltic spirit of perseverance.

**Interviewer**: On a scientific note, what highlights can attendees expect from this congress?

**Professor Borruto**: We’re covering groundbreaking topics—new strategies for oncological prophylaxis, the role of the microbiota in women’s health, and advances in pediatric and adolescent gynecology. I’ll be presenting on the microbiota’s link to neoplastic diseases, building on recent research. It’s an exciting time for our field, and Riga is the perfect stage for these discussions, given its growing prominence in European medicine.

**Interviewer**: Finally, any message for the attendees or the wider medical community?

**Professor Borruto**: Keep pushing forward. Science thrives when we unite, when we refuse to let borders or conflicts divide us. To the Baltic community, I say thank you for your trust and your strength. And to my colleagues worldwide—let’s keep this momentum alive. Riga 2025 is a milestone, but it’s also a beginning.

**Interviewer**: Professor Borruto, thank you for your time and insights. Congratulations again on this remarkable event.

**Professor Borruto**: Thank you. It’s an honor to be here.
