On December 11–12, Bucharest will host the forum “Rebuilding Ukraine: Security, Opportunities, Investments,” organized by the Center for New Strategies under the patronage of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This event, which is being held for the second time, brings together officials, representatives of international organizations, the private sector, international financial institutions, and experts from various fields, such as defense, finance and banking, energy, infrastructure, digitalization, cybersecurity, and agriculture. The conference will be attended by numerous representatives of Ukrainian regional authorities who are directly involved in the planning and implementation of recovery projects.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of Romania's role in the reconstruction of Ukraine, especially in the southern regions of the country located near Romania, as well as in issues related to connectivity, energy, and cross-border cooperation projects that have a positive economic impact on communities in both Romania and Ukraine.

The discussions will address key elements of Ukraine's reconstruction: security and defense, infrastructure, communications, financing and investment, green transition, energy security, digitalization, human capital, agriculture, and cross-border cooperation.
The discussion panels will address important topics such as:
● Regional security architecture and possible diplomatic developments;
