Dear Minister Nicolescu,
The Atlantic Council team looks forward to your participation in the 2014
Atlantic Council Energy & Economic Summit next week.  The Summit promises
to be an exciting two days of discussion on the energy, economic, and
political issues affecting the region and the world.
It has become customary in past years to convene the Leaders’ Council one
day before the Summit, to set the stage for the meetings to follow and to
provide key stakeholdrs an opportunity to engage with one another and with
top policymakers in a private setting. The Leaders’ Council is made up of
members of the Atlantic Council Board of Directors and International
Advisory Board; top government officials and thought-leaders; and top
representatives of our major Summit partners.
To keep up the tradition of us gathering on the eve of the Summit, I would
like to extend an invitation to the *Leaders’ Council Dinner* on the eve of
the Summit on Wednesday, November 19, at 6:30 p.m. in the Panorama Room of
the Grand Tarabya Hotel.  This year we are pleased to host the *Turkish
Minister of Finance Mehmet Şimşek* as our special guest speaker for a
discussion on the Turkish, regional and global economic and financial
outlook.
This year it is also our great privilege to welcome *Joe Biden, the Vice
President of the United States of America*, as our guest speaker at a
special Chairman’s breakfast the day after the Summit on Saturday, November
22, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The Vice President will discuss the
political, security and energy challenges the region must confront, and
address the dangers to the vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace.
Atlantic Council chairman Jon Huntsman and I would be honored if you could
join us for this special, invitation-only event.
We hope very much that you will be able to attend both the Leaders’ Council
Dinner on Wednesday with Minister Şimşek and the Chairman’s breakfast with
the Vice President on Saturday.
I would be very grateful if you or your office could advise us by hitting
“reply all” or emailing Bina Hussein at [email-masked], who
is coordinating these events, whether you are able to attend either or
both.  For security and seating purposes, please respond b*y Tuesday
morning, November 18.*  (We regret we are unable to seat substitutes).
Because of these gatherings’ exclusive nature, this invitation is not
transferrable.
We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul!
Yours,

*Frederick Kempe*| President and CE
