The Forum does not form part of the United Nations system. However, the Forum maintains, through the Steering Group, links with the Secretary-General, notably through the Special Representative on International Migration and Development. The Forum also relies on the expertise of the inter-agency Global Migration Group (GMG) and shall thus consult with the GMG both through the individual institutions and the GMG chair. The Forum may also consult and cooperate with other relevant international and regional bodies.

The Chair-in-Office conveys the outcomes of the Forum meeting to the Secretary-General.
