The Three Seas Initiative Summit is getting under way in Bucharest today, bringing together EU member states from Central and Eastern Europe. This year, Greece will become the 13th country to participate in the Initiative, while Romania’s neighbours Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova will be awarded the status of associate countries. A declaration will be adopted at the end of the summit, which will become an important guideline for the Initiative’s future activities aimed at boosting cross-border interconnection in the field of transport infrastructure, energy and digitalisation. The United States has reiterated its support for the Three Seas Initiative objectives and its availability to work closely with its partner states to advance this format. The US delegation at the summit in Bucharest is led by the US special presidential envoy for climate, John Kerry, who is also scheduled to meet prime minister Marcel Ciolacu.
