The meeting will be continued vs The meeting will continue

The phrases are both correct, but they would be used in marginally dissimilar contexts. 'The meeting will be continued' implies that someone will actively continue the meeting, while 'The meeting will continue' simply states that the meeting will proceed without specifying who will continue it.
