The encounter, which was themed "Building an International Democratic Movement," was attended by 400 delegates representing political parties and human rights organizations from 85 countries.

The meeting reviewed ways of fostering coordination between the world parties to protect democracy from the upcoming globalization challenges of the 21st century.
