CBSS Secretariat’s 25th Anniversary Forum

The Permanent International Secretariat of the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) is proud to announce its 25th Anniversary Forum. This special event will take place on 25 April 2023 at the CBSS Secretariat premises in Stockholm.

The forum will feature distinguished speakers and panelists who will discuss the historical waves and accomplishments of the CBSS and its Secretariat, as well as the successful collaboration in the Baltic Sea Region.

The program will commence with a welcome address from Mr Grzegorz Poznański, Director General of the CBSS, followed by remarks from Mr Tobias Billström, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden and H.E. Amb. Catalina Cullas, representative of the German Federal Foreign Office and the German Presidency of the CBSS.

The highlight of the event will be the two panel discussions, each focusing on different aspects of the CBSS and its Secretariat. The first panel will feature former Director Generals of the CBSS and a Baltic Sea Region youth representative, while the second panel will include high-level representatives from the EU Commission Representation in Sweden, the Swedish Institute and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB).

The forum will conclude with the opening of the “CBSS Waves” exhibition about the history of the CBSS and its Secretariat, followed by an evening cocktail reception.

The CBSS Secretariat’s 25th Anniversary Forum is a unique opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the CBSS and its Secretariat, and to discuss the future of the Baltic Sea Region.
