The Group of Nine (G9) was an alliance of European states that met occasionally to discuss matters of mutual pan-European interest.[1] The alliance formed in 1965, when the nine countries presented a case study at the United Nations.[2] They co-sponsored Resolution 2129 promoting East-West cooperation in Europe, unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1965.[3][4] The alliance became the Group of Ten when the Netherlands joined by parliamentary decision in 1967.[5][6][7] Following the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia,[8] the group attempted to reconcile its differences at a meeting held at the United Nations in October 1969, but failed and subsequently dissolved.[9][10] All member states, with the exception of the dissolved Yugoslavia, are now part of the European Union.
