Between July 26 and August 2, 2025, 1,132 people from 63 countries gathered in Brno, Czech Republic, to participate in the 110th Universal Esperanto Congress. We discussed the theme « Esperanto and Technologies as Bridges of Peace and Trust Among Peoples. » Through our own actions, we demonstrated how effectively the international language Esperanto serves as a bridge between speakers of different languages from various countries, with diverse experiences and opinions. By limiting our discussion of new technologies to their communicative aspects, we produced a report and, based on it, the following resolution:

• We note with satisfaction that new communication technologies have enabled significant growth in the number of practically reachable Esperanto speakers, making knowledge of Esperanto in a connected world increasingly valuable for fostering peace and trust among peoples;

• We observe that artificial intelligence (AI) for machine translation and, consequently, multilingual communication has become inexpensive and widely usable;

• At the same time, we note that incentives to learn foreign languages are weakening, partly due to the use of AI, and linguistic equality is diminishing, leading to cultural provincialism;

• We express concern about the overwhelming proliferation of digital tools through which many people tend to join like-minded information sources, reinforcing societal polarization.

We emphasize that Esperanto, due to its systematic features, is fully suited as an international language and already has a global community of speakers who, as a movement, support respect and appreciation for foreign languages and cultural diversity;

Therefore, we call on governments and civil society in all countries:

• to return to teaching neighboring languages and introduce Esperanto as a school subject to strengthen direct contact with neighboring cultures and a neutral approach to other languages;

• and to work toward enhancing the status of local languages and Esperanto compared to that of hegemonic languages.

We conclude that:

• mutual trust can contribute to a harmonious, respectful, safe, and intercultural social environment and reduce divisive forces in society;

• respect for local cultures carried by local languages is thereby strengthened, while social cohesion for peace is reinforced;

• thus, new communication tools will help build bridges among peoples, and the tendency toward barriers and polarization will weaken.
