The Forum will bring together representatives of the EU Member States, ten Southern Neighbourhood partners, and leading think tanks from the EU and the region. It will provide an informal space to enhance mutual understanding, exchange perspectives, and promote a coordinated response to shared peace and security concerns in the Mediterranean.

It will comprise a high-level segment on “Fostering Peace and Security in the Mediterranean”, followed by segments at senior officials’ level on Maritime Security in the Mediterranean and on Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation on the UN’s Counter-Terrorism Agenda.
