G7 Special Meeting in The Hague in 2014, International summit at Catshuis, The Hague, Netherlands.
The G7 Special Meeting in 2014 was a conference of leaders from seven major industrial nations who gathered at the Catshuis residence in The Hague. The meeting focused on economic issues and security matters affecting the participating countries.
The meeting took place in March 2014, shortly after Russia had annexed the Crimean Peninsula, which heavily shaped the participants' agenda. World leaders used the forum to coordinate responses to this geopolitical development.
The Catshuis residence became a setting where leaders of major economies held discussions, underlining the Netherlands' role as a venue for important state-level negotiations. The location allowed delegations to gather in a formal setting and address matters of global significance.
Visitors had no public access to the residence, as the site was reserved for official use with strict security measures in place. The city was organized with special provisions for international traffic during the meeting, making it difficult for travelers to navigate the area normally.
The meeting coincided with the simultaneous International Nuclear Security Summit that was also being hosted in the city. This made The Hague a temporary center for two large-scale international conferences of global political importance happening at the same time.
