Message of Secretary General

“ Dear visitors of the BSEC website,

I feel particularly honored to announce hereby that 2022 will the year of the 30th Anniversary of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC). So, let the celebrations begin!

As you may well know, BSEC was established 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. In its 30th year of existence, BSEC continues to serve as an important framework for cooperation in a wide range of domains to the benefit of its 13 Member States and is broadly collaborating with other regional and international organizations on various projects of common interest.

On this very special occasion, 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.

Dear visitors,

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 year 2022 to celebrate the 30th Anniversary, adding new milestones and memories to the many years to come of the Organization.
Happy Birthday BSEC!”
