Agreement
I would like to have Japanese translation for the following sentences.
The Parties desire to maintain confidentiality between themselves, one to another, and between themselves and the public.
I understand that the parties want to keep it confidential and not to disclose to public. But why is between themselves repeated?
Thank you in advance.

当事者間の秘密保持を望む
I agree with the explanation above.
"themselves, one to another" sounds like parallelism, in which "one to another" is clarifying or emphasizing the preceding "themselves" (between party A and party B).
"between themselves and the public" could be between each party and the public, meaning between party A and the public as well as party B and the public.
So, the sentence might be something like"当事者間および当事者と一般市民との間の秘密保持を望む"

Reference:
I believe it is referring to confidentiality in these two relationships
I understand the sentence this way:
The Parties desire to maintain confidentiality between {themselves, one to another}, and between {themselves and the public}.
In other words, my understanding of the two types of confidentiality being discussed is as shown in this image:
