[REPOST – gcsp] Executive Breakfast Discussion: Current Dynamics of the Geneva International Discussions, with H.E. Mr David Dondua

The event, held under Chatham House rule led to constructive and thought-provoking discussions on a wide range of topics related to conflict resolution in Georgia, the challenges that this process is facing, and possible ways forward. Following the crisis in and around Ukraine and the war in Syria, the international attention has been drawn away from this region. Thus the discussion on two important lessons: (1) the importance of the GID, which provides the only discussion forum between the participating parties, and (2) the urgent need to elevate the conflict between Russia and Georgia on the international agenda.
Around twenty participants from several Geneva-based Missions, including five Permanent Representatives, were present, and engaged actively in the discussion.

The participants stressed the crucial role of the US-North Korea Summit (scheduled in principle on 12 June) and progress on the nuclear issue for the prospects of peace and normalization over the Korean Peninsula. They also looked at the current developments in the North-South interactions, such as the high level dialogue established by the April 27 Declaration, and the various areas of cooperation that could be considered once a peace process will possibly be set on track. Recognizing that the current diplomatic initiatives represent a turning point in the Korean Peninsula, the participants welcomed the commitments of the leaders of the US and North Korea towards meaningful negotiations.

Representatives of the Ministry of Unification and GCSP also explored the potential of cooperation between the two institutions.
