The Group of Nine (G9) was a group of nine European nations that would meet occasionally to discuss matters of mutual pan-European interest. The alliance came to be in 1965, when the nine nations were lobbying and presenting a case study in the UN. They co-sponsored UN Resolution 2129 promoting East-West cooperation in Europe, unanimously adopted by the UN General Assembly in December 1965. They became the Group of Ten when the Netherlands joined the group by parliamentary decision in 1967. Following the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, the group attempted to reconcile its differences at a meeting held at the UN in October 1969, but failed and subsequently dissolved.
