IFSPD Annual Assembly - the Importance of Cooperation and Relations Between Africa and Europe
In his address, the vital importance of fostering closer economic, cultural, and educational cooperation between the Black Sea-Caspian region and the African continent is emphasised. The potential of the then-nascent African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) as a catalyst for growth and mutual benefit is explored.

Key takeaways from the speech include:

Economic Strategy: The need to shift from raw material export to value-added manufacturing and technology transfer between Europe and Africa.
Social Impact: How economic development can help alleviate poverty, improve food security, and address the root causes of migration.
Advocacy: A call to re-evaluate international sanctions against Zimbabwe to facilitate economic recovery and stability.

IFSPD Europe Activity Highlights 2009–2014

IFSPD Europe is an international non-governmental initiative focused on promoting sustainable peace, development, and cross-border cooperation, particularly across regions historically connected to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea areas.

The organisation works to bring together leaders from government, civil society, academia, and business to encourage dialogue and collaboration on issues such as conflict prevention, sustainable economic development, education, and institutional capacity building. Its approach typically emphasises long-term stability through partnerships, policy dialogue, and knowledge exchange rather than short-term interventions.

IFSPD Europe has members from over 50 countries and holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It was established as an initiative by the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Romania at the time. It was formerly known as the Black Sea–Caspian Sea International Fund (BSCSIF).
