On March 29-30, 2023, the United States co-hosted the second Summit for Democracy with the governments of Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Republic of Korea, and Republic of Zambia. The second Summit for Democracy assembled world leaders in a virtual, plenary format, followed by gatherings in each of the co-hosted countries with representatives from government, civil society, and the private sector. The second Summit for Democracy reinforced the truth that a safer and fairer world grounded in democratic values is both a shared aspiration and a shared responsibility.
