5th UfM Regional Forum: 25th anniversary of the Barcelona Process
The year 2020 marks the 25th Anniversary of the launch of the Barcelona Process. It is the time to take stock of what has been achieved during a quarter of a century of dialogue and cooperation as well as to reflect on the future of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. The 5th UfM Regional Forum will bring together the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the UfM Member States to reaffirm their commitment to the principles of the Barcelona Process and reiterate their engagement in Euro-Mediterranean dialogue and cooperation. The Forum will be preceded by an European Union-Southern Neighborhood Ministerial Meeting. A virtual civil society conference will also be held with a view to showcasing successful initiatives and projects from relevant actors that promote on a daily basis Euro-Mediterranean cooperation on the ground.
