Meloni remembers October 7: "Renew the commitment against anti-Semitism"

Competitiveness, energy and the fight against illegal immigration will be the main dossiers for Giorgia Meloni in the discussions scheduled today in Split with the Med9 partners. A summit dedicated to the Mediterranean as a strategic space for the security and competitiveness of Europe, in consideration of its centrality for trade and energy routes, for maritime security, for the governance of migratory flows, for supplies, for connectivity and for relations with the Middle East and North Africa. The informal group includes the other eight Mediterranean countries of the EU, France, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia and Spain, and at the table will be the leaders of the Union, the President of the Commission Ursula von der Leyen and that of the Council Antonio Costa.

Macron will also be present, Sanchez will not be there

Meloni will be able to cross paths with Emmanuel Macron, but not the Spaniard Pedro Sanchez who, after announcing the early elections, delegated the Secretary of State for the European Union Fernando Sampedro Marcos. Guests of the summit are Prince Albert of Monaco and Prince of Jordan Al Hussein bin Abdullah II. In fact, a working lunch dedicated to the Middle East is planned. As Italian sources anticipate, the discussion will touch on Gaza and the prospects of the political process, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, maritime and energy security and the repercussions of regional instability on energy, trade, transport and European security. Particular attention, it is explained, will be dedicated to the need to strengthen coordination with the regional ones, starting with those of the Gulf.
