diplomatic summits
High-level state conferences
Diplomatic summits are high-level meetings between heads of state or government to discuss international issues.
The term implies significance—routine meetings between officials don't qualify.
Summits often address major disputes, treaties, or crises: The diplomatic summit produced a ceasefire agreement.
The format ranges from bilateral meetings between two leaders to multilateral gatherings of many nations.
