Senator Emma Fattorini (Italy), PAM Vice-President and President of the 3rd Standing Committee on Dialogue among Civilisations and Human Rights, represented PAM at the High-level international Conference “Med 2015 – Rome Mediterranean Dialogues”, held in Rome, Italy on 10-12 December 2015. The event was organised by the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI).
The theme for this year’s edition “Beyond Turmoil, a positive Agenda”, focused on current challenges and changes in the Mediterranean scenario, which has become the epicentre of international disorder.
The priorities for the international community remain, at the moment, the defeat of ISIS and of violent extremism. Participants considered as essential the establishment of a new regional order built through diplomacy, partnerships and co-development.
On its part, PAM asserted its commitment to continue its contribution to regional peace, security and prosperity, through the instrument of parliamentary diplomacy and dedicated capacity, at the service of the national parliaments and parliamentarians of the region, representing all the people of the Mediterranean.
