The 12th<\/sup> Eurasian Economic Summit will be held by the Marmara Foundation in Istanbul, on May 6-8, 2009, at the Conference Hall of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

The Eurasian Economic Summit is organized annually by the Marmara Group Economic and Social Research Foundation. It is aimed to explore ways of enhancing relations between the European Union, the Countries of Central Asia and the Middle East. It is noteworthy that we will celebrate our twelfth anniversary this year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The agenda is quite interesting, featuring many up-to-date themes with world class leaders. Please note that there will be public policy makers and distinguished speakers from the private and academic sectors. This year the main themes of the summit will be “Energy”, especially the “Nabucco Project”, “International Economy” and “Ecology & Global Environmental Problems”.<\/p>\n

We also would like to stress that in the year of 2007; His Holiness Pope Benedict 16th<\/sup> has accepted the executive board of the Marmara Foundation to his high presence and expressed his kind support for all our activities.<\/p>\n

\n

187 high level dignitaries and relevant authorities from 34 different countries attended the past summit meeting in Istanbul last year. Among those, were Former Presidents, Prime Ministers, Vice Premiers, Ministers, Deputies, high level Government Officials, representatives of national, regional and international organizations and top executives from the world business community. H.E. Gediminas Kirkilas, Prime Minister of Lithuania, has also attended the last year’s summit as the Keynote Speaker in the opening session.<\/p>\n
