Antalya Diplomacy Forum
The Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF) is an annual conference on international diplomacy that has been held in Antalya, Turkey since 2021. During the forum, ideas and views on diplomacy, policy and business are exchanged by policy makers, diplomats and academics. The meeting brings together some 3,000 participants for up to three days to discuss global issues across several sessions. History 
The Antalya Diplomacy Forum was founded by the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and is aimed at heads of state and government, foreign ministers and high-ranking representatives of the international organization as well as representatives from business, science, civil society and the media. The first meeting was originally planned to be held on March 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 10 March 2022, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu met for the first high-level talks since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine in Antalya Diplomacy Forum within the framework of Russia–Ukraine peace negotiations. Purpose 
At this forum, under the theme of "Recoding Diplomacy", senior politicians, diplomats, military and security experts from up to 75 countries participate to discuss the current issues in diplomacy and energy policies. The intention of the conference is to address the topical main global issues and to debate and analyze the challenges in the present and the future in line with the concept of networked security. A focal point of the conference is the discussion and the exchange of views on the development of the transatlantic relations as well as European and global security in the 21st century. The conference is organized privately and therefore not an official government event. It is used exclusively for discussion; an authorization for binding intergovernmental decisions does not exist. Furthermore, there is – contrary to usual conventions – no common final communiqué. The high-level meeting is also used to discrete background discussions between the participants. ADF has partnerships with the Atlantic Council, Mexican Council on Foreign Relations, Munich Security Conference and RSIS. Editions
