This document is a transcript of the inaugural meeting of the liaison subcommittee on Confidence Building Measures held on 8 October 1997 at 1 pm. The meeting's primary focus was to outline the subcommittee's remit, which included implementing confidence-building measures as per the Report of the International Body and addressing any additional issues agreed upon by the Plenary. The British Government emphasized the importance of addressing fears and uncertainties to progress towards a lasting agreement, while the Irish Government highlighted the need for parity of esteem and equality of treatment. Various parties, including Sinn Féin, the SDLP, and the UDP, expressed their views on the subcommittee's role, with a consensus on the necessity of building mutual trust and addressing issues such as prisoner conditions and demilitarization. The meeting concluded with a call for participants to submit papers outlining their views and proposals by 22 October 1997, to facilitate further discussions.
