The 6th meeting of the UfM Regional Platform on Trade and Investment was held in Brussels on 7 June 2023.

The meeting was held to prepare the 12th UfM Trade Ministers Conference (scheduled for 18-19 October 2023 in Valencia). Main points on the Agenda included a discussion on the draft Ministerial Declaration and an update of EU initiatives related to sustainable trade and investment, and regional integration projects to support the green and digital transitions including upcoming new initiatives. Several rounds of discussions have been held to finalise the Declaration that will be adopted by the Ministers. The draft Ministerial Declaration is aimed at providing renewed political impetus, including through concrete initiatives, to more sustained cooperation across three headline topics, namely sustainable trade, sustainable investment and regional integration.
