Summit
diplomacy
Definition
A summit is a high-level meeting between heads of state or government, often involving discussions on international issues, bilateral relations, and cooperative initiatives. Unlike regular diplomatic discussions, summits are headline events, signaling commitment to resolving key issues and sometimes resulting in significant agreements or treaties. These meetings can stress the importance of diplomatic relations and showcase soft power. Summits may also involve multilateral engagement, such as the G7 or G20, tackling global challenges like climate change or economic policy coordination.
