UfM Trade and Investment Forum 2022

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of joining the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) at the fourth edition of the UfM Trade and Investment Forum in Istanbul, Türkiye. The forum brought together high-level speakers, UfM partners, and stakeholders from various sectors in the Euro-Mediterranean region to discuss the role of regional trade in accelerating the green transition, mitigating global economic shocks, and promoting regional economic integration in a changing global context.

I was honored to be able to participate in the forum and share my perspective on the entrepreneurial aspect and the role of technology and digitalization in cross-border cooperation and regional integration for more sustainable trade and investment in a more resilient region.

I believe that the UfM has an important role to play in bringing together countries from around the Mediterranean to work towards a more sustainable and resilient future. I urge the government in Libya to reconsider its position on the UfM and to join in these efforts. The Mediterranean region needs more cooperation and dialogue, not less.
