Leaders of developing countries sometimes study at international universities. They may have formed connections or become part of global networks and thus have some experience with the kind of backchannel diplomacy you mention. I think a researcher of international diplomacy might find some examples. I doubt this will fully close the disadvantage of a developing country, though and I’m not sure if anything can be learned from that for the AGI analogy. Just dropping this here as a thought.
