Functioning and Structures

The CEI operates through various structures:

  • Meetings of the Heads of Government (CEI Summit)
  • Meetings of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs (MFA Meeting) 
  • Meetings of the CEI Committee of National Coordinators (CNC)

Other ministerial meetings are also held such as the Meeting of the Ministers of Economic Sectors.

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 Secretariat.

The above-mentioned structures form the Governmental Dimension, which develops activities at political level. 

CEI representatives of national Parliaments cooperate and meet in the framework of the Parliamentary Dimension, while representatives of national Chambers of Commerce meet in the framework of the Business Dimension.
 
The role and tasks of the various CEI structures are defined in the CEI Guidelines and Rules of Procedure adopted by the Heads of Government.
