Coordinating their actions, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine seek to expand the possibilities of their Association Agreements, promote sectoral convergence with the EU (integration into the Digital Single Market, energy and customs union, ENTSO-E, and with the Schengen Area; transport cooperation, green course, justice and home affairs, strategic communications, health, security and defense) and gradually integrate into the European Single Market.

A joint memorandum between the Foreign Ministers of Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine (David Zalkaliani, Aureliu Ciocoi, and Dmytro Kuleba), initiated the creation of the format.

We respect their choice, foreign policy priorities and strategic goals, including the signing of a memorandum between them on strengthening cooperation in the field of European integration.

The European Union is supporting each of these countries in their reform and transformation processes, investing significant time, financial and technical assistance to deliver tangible benefits and improve the lives of their citizens.

The participants underline the importance of EU support to the partners' sovereignty and territorial integrity within their internationally recognized borders, as well as, to strengthening their resilience and countering security challenges.
