23rd OSCE ministerial meeting wraps up in Hamburg

Xinhua, December 10, 2016 Adjust font size:

The 23rd ministerial meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the world's largest regional security organization, closed Friday with some consensuses being reached among its member states.

Despite "marked differences" over the past two days, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said ministers attending the meeting shared views on the Ukraine crisis, migration, terrorism, cyber issues and OSCE development.

Steinmeier is this year's chairperson in office of the OSCE as Germany assumed the chairmanship of the OSCE in 2016. The chairmanship will be held by Austria next year. Endit
