The GFMD is a friendly, informal, interactive, and non-decision-making process with the main objective to promote open and interactive discussion and debate. The Summit Meeting is governed by the Chatham House Rule, i.e. comments will not be attributed or credited specifically to any one delegate.

To promote an interactive debate during the sessions, preference will be given to interventions by the States.
