Message from Frida Krifca, new President of the Governing Board
CIHEAM > AGENDAS > Message from Frida Krifca, new President of the Governing Board

April 1st, 2023 - Paris (France)

"Today I officially take on the role of President of CIHEAM. (...) CIHEAM is involved in 90 transnational projects, mobilizing nearly 50 countries, and involving more than 600 different organizations and research centres in agriculture. It is a great privilege and a huge responsibility of Mediterranean countries that mandated for the first time an Albanian and for the first time a woman, in the position of the President of this important organization (...). My main objective will be to reposition the Mediterranean region at the centre of the political agendas of the different countries. The reasons are economic, such as trade and agriculture, food and non-food products and market access. We have a long way to go and I am very honoured to undertake this journey with you."

-Mrs Frida KRIFCA

Albanian Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development

President of the CIHEAM Governing Board
