”The Euro-Mediterranean forum aims to foster dialogue between countries in the Mediterranean basin,” said Tommaso Forte, head of institutional relations for the workshop, ”to build an integrated system of cooperation and to foster intercultural dialogue, peace, and social and political coexistence.” The forum will include the presence of 25 authoritative experts from the economic, diplomatic, and academic worlds, serving as an institutional workshop for the exchange of ideas and proposals through reflecting on new models of territorial, national and international governance.” The delegations will be welcomed on Wednesday evening by Mayor Cariddi.
Following a visit to the underground areas of the Aragonese castle and Torre Matta, the ambassadors will go to Berber tents set up in the historic center of Otranto, in Largo Porta Alfonsina.
The tents were a gift to the Puglia region from the ambassador of Morocco. (ANSAmed).
