The 83-member Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS has worked diligently since 2014 to reduce the threat ISIS poses to international security and our homelands. The Coalition\u2019s combined efforts have diminished ISIS\u2019 military capability, territorial control, leadership, financial resources, and online influence. Members are united in common cause to defeat ISIS through a robust approach, including working by, with, and through local partners for military missions; supporting the stabilization of the territory liberated from ISIS; and enhancing international cooperation against ISIS\u2019 global objectives through information sharing, law enforcement cooperation, severing ISIS\u2019 financing, countering terrorist recruitment, and neutralizing ISIS\u2019 narrative. The Coalition is also engaged in efforts to provide needs-based humanitarian aid assistance to communities suffering from displacement and conflict, and supporting stabilization efforts in territory liberated from ISIS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ministerial<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Secretary\u00a0Blinken will\u00a0join\u00a0Italian\u00a0Minister of Foreign Affairs\u00a0and International Cooperation Luigi Di Maio\u00a0in co-hosting a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. It will be the first in-person Ministerial of the Global Coalition since February 6, 2019. This will be an opportunity for the Foreign Ministers of the Coalition, led by the United States, to discuss ways to sustain pressure\u202fon ISIS remnants in Iraq and Syria, and to counter ISIS\u2019s global networks, primarily in Africa. The Coalition will also assess priorities for its five lines of effort: stabilization, foreign terrorist fighters, counter-ISIS financing, political-military consultations, and counter-messaging efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fast Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since 2014, the Coalition has carried out a comprehensive strategy to destroy and degrade ISIS.
