The Barents Euro-Arctic Council (BEAC) is the forum for intergovernmental cooperation on issues concerning the Barents region.
BEAC was established at Norway's initiative by the Kirkenes Declaration in 1993. The chairmanship rotates every second year between Norway, Finland, and Sweden.
Russia withdrew from BEAC 18 September 2023.
The Barents Regional Council (BRC) was established at the same time as BEAC to support cooperation in the Barents region in regional level.
