In their concluding remarks, the two co-chairs expressed satisfaction at the progress made in the energy sector through the co-operative process. They directed the members of the Working Groups to continue their efforts, especially in the newer areas of mutual interest. The next Dialogue will be held in the United States on dates that will be mutually agreed upon through diplomatic channels.
