Global Interest in IOMed Growing, Says Hong Kong Chief Executive
WHY IT MATTERS
The growth of IOMed reflects Hong Kong's commitment to international mediation and dispute resolution, solidifying its position as a trusted intergovernmental body.
What happened
Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee celebrated the first anniversary of the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) on October 20. The organization has seen significant progress under Secretary-General Prof Teresa Cheng, with 48 signatory states and 18 contracting states.
IOMed has already settled an international commercial dispute and handled multiple cases, with global interest growing. The organization will hold its first forum in December, focusing on 'Mediation for Peace and Prosperity - the New Frontier'.
Hong Kong will continue to support IOMed, promoting the city as a global hub for mediation.
