For two decades, CMI has worked to contribute to a peaceful future in the Eurasia region, a political space which bordered by the EU, Iran and China. We support ongoing peace processes in the region by engaging with national, regional and international stakeholders, both state and non-state actors. Our efforts help enable dialogue and enhance good governance in societies facing challenging political transitions and conflict.
At the core of our approach is the commitment to strengthening conflict resolution capacities at local, national and regional levels. We also seek to open and maintain stable channels of communication and build confidence across conflict divides by providing informal mediation support. In doing so, CMI has engaged with regional and international organizations including the European Union and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
CMI’s extensive experience in the region, commitment to long-term engagement, and broad networks spanning grassroots to high-level stakeholders, combined with impartiality and Finnish identity uniquely position us to pursue informal and complementary mediation efforts and to remain honest brokers in support of the most difficult peace processes in Eurasia.
