Forum for the Future in Marrakech 2-3 November

 

London, 27 Oct. – (ANA) – the 6th edition of the Forum for the Future is taking place in Marrakech, morocco, from 2-3 November.

The event will be chaired by Mr. Taieb Fassi Fihri, Morocco’s minister of Foreign affairs and cooperation and his Italian counterpart in his capacity as chairman of the G8 for the current year. The American Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, is also expected to attend with ministers of the countries of the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) together with their G8 counterparts and other partners.

The meeting is aimed to review progress made since the inaugural meeting in Rabat in December 2004, and to reaffirm the determination by all concerned to work closely together to achieve their shared goals.

The Forum for the Future is a joint initiative of the countries of the Broader Middle East and North Africa region (BMENA) and the industrialized countries of the Group of Eight (G8). It is a unique partnership between governments of the region, the G8, civil society representatives and private sector leaders to discuss and exchange ideas on how to best work together to support progress and expand opportunities for the people of the region.
