Press Communiqué of the Co-Chairs of the Geneva International Discussions
GENEVA, Switzerland, 9 December 2015 -The thirty-fourth round of the Geneva International Discussions has just ended. The Co-Chairs welcomed the thorough exchanges of views that took place on the security and humanitarian situation on the ground. The participants welcomed the continued constructive cooperation in the meetings of the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM) in Ergneti and reiterated their calls for the early resumption of the Gali IPRM.
An information session on “issues relating to documentation in conflict-affected areas” was held on the eve of the session and welcomed by all participants.
While most of the exchanges took place in a constructive and open atmosphere, the Co-Chairs regret that the two working groups could not complete their respective agendas. The Co-Chairs call upon all participants to take a constructive approach to ensure progress in the Geneva International Discussions.
The participants agreed to hold their next round on 22-23 March 2016.
