The 15th meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in GUAM was held in Warsaw during the "Eastern Partnership" summit.

The ministers discussed a further deepening of regional cooperation, even at the section level, the GUAM Secretariat said in a statement on Friday.
The meeting's participants stressed an increase in mutual trade and considered priority tasks for cooperation in GUAM, including prospects for deepening cooperation with the European Union.

Following the meeting, the "Warsaw Declaration of GUAM Council of Foreign Ministers on cooperation prospects and European integration" was signed and the "GUAM Action Plan to enhance sectoral cooperation" approved.

GUAM was established by Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine in 1997 during the EU presidential summit in Strasbourg. In 1999 Uzbekistan joined the organization for four years.

At the organization's first summit in Kiev in 2006 it was decided that GUAM was to have the new name "Organization for Democracy and Economic Development - GUAM."
