Biden’s administration is planning to host a Summit for Democracy, the first of its kind which will gather partners of governments, civil society and the private sector ‘to support renewal of democracy around the world’.

The Summit for Democracy is set to be held on December 9-10 in the format of a teleconference.

According to the preliminary list of invitees, the event will gather not only well-established democratic countries, but also countries where, according to activists, democracy is at risk.

Asked if there is a final list of invitees or if there is still time for countries like Azerbaijan to be included in the list, U.S. Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Uzre Zea said the United States invites a regionally diverse collection of well-established and developing democracies, big and small, the progress and commitments of which, in their opinion, will contribute to the common goals.
