This is a unique and highly opportune event, as dialogue with Arab partners is currently of vital importance in view of current regional and global challenges in world politics. The participants will define potential areas of cooperation between the EU and the Arab League, address current regional crises such as the Middle East peace process, Iraq and Lebanon, and also focus on intercultural dialogue and climate change. |
