The United States and its allies will hold the second Democracy Summit in March – will Azerbaijan be invited?
30 November 2022
The White House announced that it will hold a second summit on democracy in March, which will be a continuation of efforts to counter authoritarianism and form a united front of democratic countries, Washington correspondent TURAN reports.
The summit will be held from March 29 to 30 in a virtual format, followed by meetings with representatives of governments, civil society and the private sector.
Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Zambia and South Korea will act as co-organizers. Other key details, including the full list of participating States, have yet to be determined.
"We live in an era defined by accountable and transparent governance," the five co—organizing countries said in a joint statement. "All over the world, democracy needs supporters at all levels. Transparent governance remains the best way to ensure lasting prosperity, peace and justice."
The March summit will be a continuation of the event organized by President Joe Biden in December 2021 with the participation of more than 100 leaders. It discussed how to efficiently stop the rollback of democracy, which led to the adoption of more than 700 commitments to strengthen and protect democracy.
It should be noted that Azerbaijan was not among the 110 invited to the first Democracy Summit. The final list also did not include several prospective US partners, such as Turkey, and Georgia and Armenia were the only Caucasian countries on the list. Putin's Russia was not invited either.
