Excellency,
The Parliament of the Republic of Albania is generously hosting the first Regional Meeting of the Chairs and Members
of the Committees covering food and agriculture issues of National Parliaments of the Europe and Central Asia (ECA)
Region, which will be held in Tirana, Albania, 22–23 October 2024.
The Summit will bring together Members of Parliament from across the region, Chairs of Agrarian Committees,
representatives of the European Parliament, experts and other stakeholders.
This Summit will provide a unique platform to facilitate high-level engagement and exchanges, allowing
parliamentarians to share experiences, discuss the main challenges faced by the region, and agree on follow-up steps for
regional cooperation to achieve a holistic approach to agri-food systems transformation in the European and Central
Asia Region, and promote creating an enabling environment for a cross-sectoral approach.
The Summit will consist of multiple working modalities designed to foster collaboration towards real progress in the
development of sustainable agrifood systems, from high-level plenary sessions featuring prominent speakers, to
interactive moderated discussions designed to spark dynamic and fruitful exchanges between participants.
The development of a Follow-up Action Plan will maintain momentum, deepen parliamentary engagement in agrifood
systems transformation, and prepare European parliamentarians for their contributions at the next Global Parliamentary
Summit against Hunger and Malnutrition.
