Tangier to host first Euro-Mediterraneen Forum – Morocco Newsline

June 4, 2008 - PRLog -- The Forum will focus on a number of different interests; economic and environmental issues, cultural identity as well as geopolitical interests, scientific and communication technologies.

This event will bring together a number of high profile French and Moroccan officials among them; Ms. Latifa Kharbach, Morocco’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Mr. Andre Azoulay, Senior Advisor to His Majesty Mohammed VI the King of Morocco, Mr. Bernard Kouchner, France’s Foreign Minister, Mr. Henri Guaino Special Adviser to President Nicolas Sarkozy, Ambassador Bruno Dethomas, head of the European Commission delegation in Rabat and Mr. Fathallah Siljilmassi, Ambassador of Morocco to France

The forum will bring to the table senior French and Moroccan government officials, executives from leading international corporations, bank executives, writers, and economic consultants.
In partnership with  the Wilaya de Tangier, the city of Tangiers, Tangiers-Tétouan region,  and Tanger Free-Zone, the R.E.M.I has decided to turn Tangiers into a Mediteraneen “Davos”.  

The city of Tangiers was the obvious and natural choice to host the Euro Mediterranean Forum. Tangiers’ strategic location has always made it historically, geographically and culturally the perfect link between Europe and Africa.


It was in Tangiers where French President Nicolas Sarkozy reiterated his calls for the construction of a “Mediterranean Union.”   The goal is to build and alliance between France together with a number of selected European countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and the countries of the Maghreb.  

Nicolas Sarkozy stressed the importance of the event by stating that the time has come to pull all energies and wholeheartedly build the Mediterranean Union, since the region is absolutely crucial for world balance.
