Functioning and Structures

The CEI operates thorough various structures: annual Meeting of the Heads of Government (CEI Summit), annual Meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs (MFA Meeting), meeting on the level of Political Directors of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and regular meetings of the CEI Committee of National Coordinators (CNC). Other ministerial meetings are also held annually, such as the Meeting of the Ministers of Economic Sectors, held within the framework of the CEI Summit Economic Forum. Meetings and activities are also developed in the framework of CEI working bodies, such as the CEI Networks of Focal Points. They cover various areas of economic and human development and are organised upon the initiative of the Member States or the CEI-Executive Secretariat. The above-mentioned structures form the Governmental Dimension, which develops activities at political level.
