Meetings have already taken place in Washington, D.C. (three times), Moscow, Beijing (twice), Doha, New Delhi, Vienna, Tehran, and Addis Ababa.
In the year 2018 the management of MCD offered to host the next Meeting of the Core Group in Minsk, motivating the decision by the contribution made by Belarus to strengthen stability and security in the region and by the ability to receive on the Belarusian site the key players. The meeting is suggested to be dedicated to the relations on the East-West line, discussion of regional conflicts, the Minsk Process, as well as the economic situation in the Eastern Europe.
