The Black Sea is transforming into a vital global hub for trade, energy, and logistics, and Türkiye is positioned at its center, according to Lazar Comanescu, Secretary General of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC).
Türkiye’s strategic location and initiatives are driving the Black Sea region’s emergence as a key bridge between Europe and Asia. Ambassador Lazar Comanescu, BSEC Secretary General, emphasized Türkiye’s central role in enhancing Eurasian connectivity through projects like the Middle Corridor, the Black Sea Ring Highway, and expanded energy infrastructure partnerships.
With 350 million people in its 13 member states, the BSEC region is both a large market and a vital link between Asia, the Pacific, and Europe. Türkiye anchors key maritime routes like the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, facilitating global trade while advancing energy security and sustainable projects.
Comanescu stressed the importance of collective efforts among BSEC members, highlighting steps like harmonizing customs systems, upgrading ports, and fostering public-private partnerships. If successful, the Black Sea could rival the Mediterranean as a prime trade, energy, and data corridor, with Türkiye playing a pivotal role in this transformation.
