Message of Secretary General

Dear friends and visitors of the BSEC website,
BSEC has accomplished much in the past three decades since its establishment in 1992, as a unique and promising platform of multilateral economic cooperation, with the signing of the Istanbul Summit Declaration and the Bosphorus Statement by the Heads of State and Government of the countries in the region. Today, besides being the oldest Organization in this geostrategic region that connects three continents, it asserts itself as a prominent actor in promoting peace, stability and prosperity through economic cooperation, encouraging friendly and good-neighborly relations in the Black Sea area. As it begins its fourth decade of existence, it continues to serve as an important framework for cooperation in a wide range of domains to the benefit of its 13 Member States as well as to broadly collaborate with other regional and international organizations on various projects of common interest.

 

I would like to convey my gratitude to our Members States, our Related Bodies, as well as to our Observers and Sectoral Partners, and last but not least, to all the BSEC Staff Members who whole-heartedly contributed to the well-functioning and success of the Organization since its inception.

 

I am hereby inviting you to stay tuned with the BSEC activities and to follow on our website as well as on our social media accounts, the many events that will be held throughout years, adding new milestones and memories to the many years to come of the Organization.
Ambassador Lazar Comanescu

Secretary General
