THE ECONOMIC AGENDA OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE BLACK SEA ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND THE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE OF THE WIDER BLACK SEA REGION ROMANIA’S IMPLICATIONS AND THE GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT

The Economic Agenda of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) plays a central role in promoting sustainable development in the wider Black Sea region, given its strategic position between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The adoption of this agenda aims to improve infrastructure, attract investments, stimulate free trade and promote renewable energy, having a significant impact on the economies of its member states. Romania, due to its geographical position and economic potential, actively contributes to the implementation of BSEC initiatives by supporting infrastructure modernization, promoting green energy and strengthening regional cooperation. Moreover, the integration of the BSEC Agenda objectives with those of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights the necessity of sustainable economic policies designed to ensure equitable growth and long-term stability.
