MIKTA Speakers' Consultation

MIKTA was formed under Seoul's leadership in 2013 and is an acronym of the names of its five member countries-- Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, Turkey, and Australia.

The 2015 MIKTA Speakers' Consultation was held in Seoul, Korea from July 1-5. The Speaker of the National Assembly of Seoul Korea Chung Ui-hwa proposed the meeting and arranged for the remaining countries to arrive for the consultation. At the Plenary Session, which took place on July 2, the Speakers and other delegates of the MIKTA parliaments discussed the role of each country's parliaments in implementing and supporting core values such as the Sustainable Development Goals, regional issues facing the MIKTA countries, and the 70th anniversary of the national division and the peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula. The Speakers cooperated and concurred that the MIKTA Speakers' Consultation should serve as one of the main platforms that contribute to the development of each respective country and agreed to make efforts to forge cooperative relations with relevant government ministries to assist MIKTA in contributing to good global governance. The Consultation concluded with the adoption of the Joint Statement in which the Speakers agreed to build a unified network and to consider holding a 2nd MIKTA Speakers’ Consultation in 2016.
