The virtual Arria-formula meeting was organized by the Permanent Missions of China, Egypt, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates to the UN.

The meeting focused on expanding the understanding of emerging technologies and called on the international community to bolster discussions on their development and application.

Additionally, it aimed to increase awareness of the impact of emerging technologies on international peace and security and examine efforts to prevent and mitigate potential risks caused by their use.
