Barcelona-The Secretary General of the UfM, Youssef Amrani, expressed his gratitude for the strong support of Barcelona to the Euro Mediterranean process in general and to the UfM in particular, during a meeting held at the Municipality of Barcelona. Amrani stated that Barcelona has always played a unique role in the Mediterranean relations since the Barcelona Summit in 1995, which continues to be a milestone in the Mediterranean political relations in the region.

The Secretary General and the Mayor exchanged views on the situation of the organisation, taken into consideration the recent developments due to the Arab spring.

The Mayor of Barcelona highlighted the importance of hosting the premises of the UfM for Barcelona City, and reiterated the will of the city to continue playing a central role in the Euro Mediterranean process as the Mediterranean Capital.
