On 19th November 2012 during the 67th session of the General Assembly in New York Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Mr. Yuriy Sergeyev introduced the draft resolution on Cooperation between the United Nations and Central European Initiative, which was initiated by the Ukrainian delegation in the framework of Ukraine's Presidency at CEI.
The General Assembly adopted the resolution by consensus.
During the debates Ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev met with the CEI Secretary General Mr. Gerhard Pfanzelter, who welcomed the efforts of Ukraine in promoting at the United Nations the aforementioned draft of the resolution.
The adoption of this document will strengthen the international status of the Central European Initiative, as well as will enhance the cooperation between the United Nations and CEI. The resolution also requests the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly in 2014 at its sixty-ninth session a report on implementation of the resolution.
