Libyan FM in Barcelona to take part in Union for the Mediterranean conference

Libyan Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush arrived in Barcelona on Thursday where she attended a conference by the Union for the Mediterranean.

On the sidelines of the conference, Mangoush held talks with a number of her European and Mediterranean counterparts, including Spain’s José Manuel Albares, Malta’s Ian Borg, Slovania’s Tanja Fajon and other foreign diplomatic representatives, according to Libyan Foreign Ministry.

Founded in 2008, the Union for the Mediterranean is an intergovernmental organization of 43 member states from Europe and the Mediterranean Basin: the 27 EU member states and 16 Mediterranean partner countries from North Africa, Western Asia and Southern Europe.

The Union has the aim of promoting stability and integration throughout the Mediterranean region. It is a forum for discussing regional strategic issues, based on the principles of shared ownership, shared decision-making and shared responsibility between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
