Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos participated in the meeting of the MED 9 (Cyprus, Greece, Malta, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and Croatia), which took place on 12-13 September 2023 in Malta.
During the Ministerial Meeting, which prepares the Med9 Summit to take place at the end of the month, views were exchanged on EU relations with the Southern Neighbourhood countries, the revision of the Multiannual Financial Framework, and the future structure and objectives of the Med9 group.
In the context of the work of the Summit, the Foreign Minister stressed that the dialogue and coordination among EU Mediterranean Member States to address common challenges and promote issues of common interest on the European agenda has yielded tangible results and should be further strengthened.
Kobos also referred to the need for enhanced cooperation with partners in the Southern Neighbourhood in order to create conditions for peace, stability and progress in the Mediterranean. Referring to the recent natural disasters in Morocco, Libya, Greece, Slovenia and Spain, he stressed that these are a further indication of the serious regional challenges that we need to address collectively. On the sidelines of the meetings, Mr. Kobos had a bilateral meeting with his Maltese counterpart, Mr. Ian Borg.
The Foreign Minister returns to Cyprus this evening.
