Senior Officials Meeting on Atlantic Cooperation
Senior Coordinator for Atlantic Cooperation Ambassador Jessye Lapenn hosted the first virtual meeting of senior representatives from 43 Atlantic coastal countries on May 23 to build upon a Joint Statement issued last September on the margins of the UN General Assembly.
The substantive meeting focused on the benefits of a proposed new Atlantic Cooperation forum that comprises the whole of the Atlantic, during which the senior representatives discussed basic principles to guide such a forum and identified specific regional priorities, building on the work of existing efforts and a shared commitment to a peaceful, prosperous, open, and cooperative Atlantic region that remains a healthy and environmentally resilient resource for generations to come.

It is the most heavily traveled ocean which supports 49 million jobs in Africa and $21 billion in GDP in Latin America and is at the heart of changing global climate and weather patterns.
