The Heiligendamm Process: Extending the G8-G5 Dialogue

In this video, Ulrich Benterbusch - Director of the Heiligendamm Process, OECD - outlines the main successes of the 2-year structured dialogue between the G8 countries, China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico on important global issues. Mr. Benterbusch has been the primary facilitator of this dialogue through the OECD, and has gained significant political support at the G8 L'Aquila Summit for another 2-year term with a wider mandate. As he explains, this format allows for both confidence building among G8 and G5 state officials as well as developing common policy toward critical issues such as investment, climate, development aid and intellectual property.
