They also confirmed that they will further strengthen their collaboration in preparation for the Second Global Refugee Forum, to be held in Geneva, Switzerland in December 2023. In addition, both sides agreed to continue exploring the potential for expanding cooperation in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa to maximize the positive impact of said cooperation through the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) nexus.
