But before we close, I wanted to take a moment to thank the team who made all of this possible, Serena Arcone, Emily Reinhold, and Nagisa Shiba, as well as our audio expert and producer Fabio Bruno.

A huge thank you also to Irish Aid and the German Federal Foreign Office for supporting this series, and to Florian Lütke and Katie Kamins at Berghoff, as well as to my colleague Greta Luzoli at UNSSC and Parth Joshi at UNDP.

Also, a big thank you to Ginevra Cucinotta at UNSSC and, of course, Sam Martell at DPPA.

The preliminary investigation was reopened on the 21st of September after new circumstances emerged, with documents reviewed by Swedish public broadcaster SVT indicating that three people are listed in the case.

the meeting shows how direct communication can continue even between governments with sharply opposing positions.

It also highlights the continuing role of multilateral forums such as the United Nations as places where diplomatic contact can be maintained during periods of intense international tension.
