Over the last 30 years, the Budapest Process has become recognised by participating states both in Europe and Asia as well as further stakeholders, as an excellent tool for identifying and addressing evolving migration challenges.
Adoption of the new Ministerial Declaration and Call for Action charts the course for five years of cooperation
On 11-12th November 2024, ministers, deputy ministers and senior officials from 50 countries and 13 international organisations convened in Budapest and agreed to a joint vision of migration governance, endorsing a new Ministerial Declaration and Call for Action. The endorsement of these texts represents a significant step toward strengthening regional cooperation on migration, with a particular emphasis on the Silk Routes Region.
The historic Silk Road stretched from the most eastern parts of Asia to Europe; it connected continents, countries and people in trade, intellectual exchange and brought mutual cultural enrichment. Its many different routes – the Silk Routes – have given name within the framework of the Budapest Process to the Silk Routes region, covering Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The ICMPD Silk Routes Regional Office was established in
2016 and is currently located in Vienna, Austria.
We are covering Europe’s Eastern neighbours,the Western Balkans and Central Asia and stretching from Europe to the Silk Routes region (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, India, Iraq, Pakistan and Sri Lanka)
During its more than 30 years of operation, the Budapest Process has built up a far-reaching network among participating states and wide thematic coverage. The dialogue is known and valued in the regions it involves.
