Signatories of Artemis Accords, Who Aim to Return Humanity to the Moon, Hold Their First Meeting
13:16 GMT 19.09.2022 (Updated: 13:20 GMT 19.09.2022) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The signatories to the Artemis Accords met on Monday for the first time as part of the US-led initiative to promote international cooperation and the imposition of a rules-based order in space, the Sate Department said.
"On Monday, September 19, 2022, representatives of Artemis Accords signatory nations met at the International Astronautical Congress in Paris for the first in-person meeting since the launch of the Accords," the press release said.

The Department of State was represented by Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary (PDAS) of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs Jennifer Littlejohn.
"PDAS Littlejohn highlighted the diversity of signatories in their space capabilities and interests and encouraged all spacefaring nations to sign the Accords.
