In the closing of the meeting, the Secretary General gave an outline of future activities of the International, and of the relevant Commissions in relation to the COP16 meeting in Cancún and the G20 in Seoul later this year, along with meetings of regional and thematic committees and preparations for the forthcoming SI Council meeting to be held in Paris on 15-16 November. The Presidium agreed that the agenda of the Council would include discussions on the Global economy, on Climate change and on Conflict resolution. In concluding the meeting, SI President George Papandreou remarked that the MDGs were about empowering people all over the world, and reiterated the need to work towards them with optimism, combating self-interest, nationalism and the politics of fear. He closed proceedings by thanking the participants for their contributions and looking forward to the next annual meeting of the SI Presidium and "H E A D S" of State and Government in 2011.
