The national coordinators of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Moldova will meet in Kiev on Sept.10 to 11, Chechelashvili said.

"Generally, their meeting will be dedicated to formulation of the agenda of the upcoming meeting of the Council of GUAM countries' Foreign Ministers to be held at the UN General Assembly in New York in late September," the Secretary General said.

Four post-Soviet republics - Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova established the GUAM format in 1997 at a summit of presidents of European Union countries in Strasbourg. However, the organization officially started work in 2005

Over the last three years the GUAM summits focused on settlement of regional conflicts and coordination of efforts to ensure energy security.
