*****************************************************
Dear Minister Pakosta:
It is my honor and pleasure to invite you to the 2026 Global Summit of Women
and its Ministerial Roundtable hosted by Istanbul, Türkiye, on June 4-6,
2026 at the Hilton Bomonti. As it has done for over 35 years, the Summit’s
Ministerial Roundtable continues to provide a forum for exchanges among
government officials like yourself on what works in advancing women’s and
girls’ economic progress.
Scheduled for Thursday, June 4 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., the Ministerial opens
the 3-day Summit, whose theme – Women: Building Bridges to a Bold
Tomorrow – echoes Turkiye’s unique role as a bridge between Europe and Asia,
while also reflecting the need to unite amidst geopolitical and technology
disruptions. The Summit averages 1,000 participants from 60+ countries that
includes government officials, international agency and civil society
leaders, but primarily hundreds of women in the economic arena given the
Summit’s focus.
Focusing on Public/Private Sector Partnerships advancing women and girls,
the exchanges among Ministers, whether in terms of policies or programs, are
even more critical now given budget constraints in every country and a
general global pushback on women’s rights. We welcome hearing from you of
any project or policy initiated by your Ministry that opens up opportunities
for women in your country that can be presented at the Roundtable.
All the projects presented will be assembled in a portfolio of best
practices to share with other Ministers that may be replicable in their
respective countries. In the past, Ministers attending the Roundtable have
had diverse portfolios ranging from Trade and Industry to Environment to
Health and Education to Labor and Social Affairs. We expect the 2026 Summit
to attract a similarly robust assembly of Ministers from all parts of the
world.
I look forward to the possibility of meeting you and to hearing more about
your initiatives. The following form:

of the Summit to give you a greater sense of the caliber of leaders
participating annually, the topics covered and the partners/supporters
involved.
It would be an honor to have you join us at this global gathering to hear
more about the work your ministry is doing on behalf of women and families.
I do hope your schedule allows you to join us in Istanbul next June.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this invitation, and I look
forward to hearing from you.
