Description

On 28 November, in Barcelona, Commissioner Šuica will attend the 10th Regional Forum of the Union for the Mediterranean.

28 November has a symbolic significance as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Barcellona Declaration of 1995. The Regional Forum, taking place at ministerial level, will represent an opportunity to celebrate this important milestone.

The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) is an intergovernmental organisation that brings together 43 countries to strengthen regional cooperation and dialogue through specific projects and initiatives that address inclusive and sustainable development, stability and integration in the Euro-Mediterranean area.

This 10th forum will represent an opportunity to optimise the functioning of the organization, among others through new working methods, a new organigram and the optimization of the ministerial meetings.
