Communiqué

Communiqué in Diplomatic Law

Communiqué

A brief public summary statement issued following important bilateral or multilateral meetings. These tend to be bland and full of stock phrases such as “full and frank discussions”, and the like. Occasionally, getting an agreement on the communiqué turns out to be the most difficult part of the meeting.
