Alternate Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas had a series of bilateral meetings in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on the sidelines of an Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) foreign ministers' meeting on July 16.

During the meeting, the 56 OSCE member countries acknowledged the Corfu Process as the legacy of last year's Greek presidency of the Organisation for enhancing security in the European area, thus establishing the Greek initiative as an official OSCE process.

Following the Corfu meeting (June 2009), OSCE ambassadors have been meeting regularly in Vienna as part of the dialogue on wider European security and the restoration of confidence.
