The meeting aims to exchange views on contemporary global issues and challenges and discuss possible perceptions to confront them and mitigate their repercussions on the people.

He stressed the interdependence of goals and interests between the Middle East and the European Union, since what is happening in the Middle East affects European countries, and what is happening in Europe affects the countries of the Middle East, underlining the need to work for a comprehensive and sustainable peace in the region for the benefit of its people.
