2022 OSCE Mediterranean Conference

“[The] link between security in the OSCE area and security in the Mediterranean region has become all the more relevant, as has our co-operation with our Mediterranean Partners, given the growing range of challenges and opportunities stemming from the Mediterranean region and beyond. We therefore call for Mediterranean-related issues to be clearly reflected throughout the relevant work of the OSCE across the three dimensions of comprehensive security, and for greater engagement in advancing a common approach in tackling the related challenges, many of which are transnational and cross-dimensional in nature, and in seizing emerging opportunities, in a spirit of genuine partnership, co-operation, and ownership.” 

2018 Milan Ministerial Council, Declaration on Security and Co-operation in the Mediterranean.

The 2022 OSCE Mediterranean Conference will take place in Jordan on 24-25 October on the subject: “Advancing security and co-operation in the Mediterranean: fostering dialogue with the OSCE Mediterranean Partners for Co-operation”.  Since its inception, the OSCE has attached great importance to security aspects in the Mediterranean region.
