Viktor Arkhipov
, Chairman of the Russian Na-
tional Committee for Black Sea Economic Cooper-
ation
TODAY'S EMERGING multipolar world offers
new prospects for global economic development of
countries and entire regions (SCO, EurAsEC, etc.).
The Russian National Committee for Black Sea Eco-
nomic Cooperation (RNC BSEC) represents Russia in the BSEC Business Council and is
a socially oriented non-profit organization aimed at coordinating the activities of Russian
business and public structures related to Russia's participation in the Organization of the
Black Sea Economic Cooperation. The main founder of the Committee is the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
One of the Committee's primary tasks is to create the conditions for a favorable investment
climate in the Black Sea Region that could have a significant effect on the dynamics of
economic processes.
The Committee takes an active part in developing concepts that would ensure integration
and mutually beneficial economic and trade cooperation of Russian business entities with
BSEC participants and in promoting Russian intellectual products in the international mar-
ket.
The RNC BSEC Business Council is an instrument for turning the Black Sea Region into
a joint regional economic center of power by addressing four strategic tasks:
- Provide effective assistance in establishing contacts between business circles and in de-
veloping public-private partnerships;
- Establish a close mutually beneficial partnership between the interested parties and in-
ternational and regional organizations;
- Strengthen regional economic policy, increase economic integration and develop the busi-
ness potential of territories;
- Ensure a comprehensive, all-round approach to the implementation of priority projects
and programs meeting the economic needs of territories.
Special attention is paid to work with small and medium business as the most promising
sector of the Russian economy which requires support and real organizational assistance
at the intergovernmental level of the BSEC member countries. World practice shows that
without due attention to small and medium business it is impossible to ensure decent living
standards for the population.
