joint declaration
Mutual official statement
A joint declaration is a formal statement issued by two or more parties—typically governments, organizations, or leaders—announcing a shared position, agreement, or intention.
Unlike a treaty, a joint declaration may not carry binding legal force, though it signals political commitment and consensus.
The two presidents signed a joint declaration pledging cooperation on climate change.
Joint declarations often emerge from summits or diplomatic negotiations to publicly mark areas of agreement.
