MIKTA diplomacy - current developments and vision for the future

Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, and Australia have developed a cooperation scheme within a framework called MIKTA. It is based on a mutual interest in strengthening multilateralism by supporting worldwide efforts in stability and prosperity, facilitating pragmatic and creative solutions to regional and international challenges, and implementing needed reforms in global governance structures.

The seminar will aim to generate input from the Geneva policy community for MIKTA cooperation and the way forward. Covered topics will include MIKTA’s role in the United Nations, as well as its potential in shaping the debates in certain core issue areas. A discussion will also be devoted to MIKTA's potential in the areas of disaster risk reduction and cybersecurity. Confirmed speakers include Mr Michael Møller, Acting Head of the UN Office in Geneva and Prof. Jussi Hanhimäki, professor at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.
