Ministerial Councils
Ministerial meetings, as a rule, are convened once a year in the country holding the Chairmanship. Additional meetings, including informal meetings may be called at any time.
History
The first meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) took place in Helsinki on 3-7 July 1973. Two years later, in August 1975, the so-called Helsinki Process culminated in the first CSCE Summit of Heads of State and Government, which adopted the Helsinki Final Act.
The Ministerial Council itself was established by the Charter of Paris for a New Europe (1990).
