Carpathian integration initiative to bring together over 500 business reps from various countries – Zelenskyy
The first economic summit of the Carpathian Integration Initiative (CII), which will take place this September and will feature representatives from the eight countries that host the Carpathian Mountains, will bring together over 500 business representatives from various countries, according to the Ukrainian presidential website on Thursday.
The Carpathian Integration Initiative (CII) is set to host its first economic summit in September, with over 500 business representatives from eight countries participating. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of bringing together local communities, not just leaders, to address the unique challenges faced by the region.
The summit will focus on areas such as investment, security, energy protection, and food security, with a particular emphasis on the relocation of businesses and industrial production from temporarily occupied territories. The Carpathian Initiative, modeled after successful initiatives like the Danube and Alpine projects, is gaining support from European institutions and aims to strengthen horizontal ties and boost community capacity in the region.
