I met the Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council #Gulf, Jasim AlBudaiwi. An in-depth discussion on regional scenarios and a concrete step to strengthen our collaboration both at the political and economic levels.
We signed a Memorandum of Understanding that consolidates the 360-degree dialogue between Italy 🇮🇹 and the Gulf Cooperation Council #Gulf.
The Gulf is a strategic partner for security, economic growth, and stability in the broader Mediterranean. We want to intensify the partnership between 🇪🇺 and the Gulf countries, promote strategic corridors like #IMEC, safeguard the freedom of navigation and trade routes, starting from #Hormuz, and support diplomatic initiatives capable of fostering peace, security, and stability in the Middle East.
Italy confirms its role as a privileged interlocutor between Europe and the Gulf. We will soon organize a business forum between the companies of our countries to promote further growth and opportunities for our exporting businesses.
