The minutes from the first Strand Three Liaison Meeting on 28 October 1997, jointly chaired by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, document the initial discussions under the new liaison arrangements. The Secretary of State welcomed participants and emphasized the importance of consultation with the parties, inviting their views on principles and requirements for a new agreement, including self-determination, constitutional issues, and new institutional designs. Various parties, including the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition, UUP, Sinn Féin, SDLP, and PUP, provided their initial reactions, highlighting differing perspectives on the Framework Document and the need for substantive engagement. The meeting concluded with an invitation for parties to submit further views in writing or through bilateral/multilateral meetings, with a commitment to convene another liaison meeting based on these inputs.
