A summit meeting is a large-scale international gathering of political leaders and experts to discuss important global issues. Summits are often used to promote cooperation between countries and address complex problems like climate change, international security, economic policy, and more. Professional associations within industries like healthcare, finance, or technology also host summits to help their members share the latest research, trends, and developments in their fields. Summits can also be a great way to build community and create connections between attendees that last long after the event is over.
If there’s one clear takeaway from the Putin-Trump summit in Anchorage, it is that neither side appears ready to compromise. Putin’s reiteration of his initial war aims suggests he’s still determined to keep fighting until Ukraine breaks down or gives up. This is why he may have seen the Alaska summit as a win, even though it offered little progress.
Summit implementation is a multilateral process that takes place at both the regional and national level. In order to support the governments involved in the process, the OAS has established a number of institutions to work together and carry out various Summit mandates. These institutions are known as Responsible Coordinators or Co-Coordinators and are indicated in the list here. In addition to these organizations, some national ministries or departments in the hemisphere also play an important role in the Summit implementation process. These institutions are listed here as well. The OAS’s overall goal is to ensure that the commitments made at the Miami Summit are carried out.
