Egypt hosts largest Economic Forum of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean

Cairo will host the Economic Forum of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM), chaired by MP Mohamed Abu al-Enein, Deputy Speaker of the Egyptian House of Representatives, on 28–29 November.

This major gathering is the largest economic forum of the Mediterranean parliaments, bringing together 42 countries across the Mediterranean basin. Egypt assumes the presidency of the conference and its sessions, which cover political and economic cooperation, energy, environment and culture — all aimed at shaping a new future for partnership and collaboration among Mediterranean nations.

The conference, led by MP Abu al-Enein, in his capacity as President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean, will feature intensive discussions on major regional challenges witnessed over recent years, and ways to overcome them through new solutions and forward-looking visions.

Topping the agenda is the Palestinian crisis and the immense suffering endured by the Palestinian people over the past two years, culminating in the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit attended by 30 world leaders.

Equally central are issues such as political transitions in Southern Mediterranean countries and their impact on irregular migration, alongside climate challenges, energy crises, environmental cooperation, cultural dialogue and the deep economic disparities affecting the region.
