The annual meeting of the foreign ministers of the countries of the Union for the Mediterranean, the platform that brings together the countries of the two shores of this sea, cannot be "just another event", defended yesterday the head of Spanish diplomacy , José Manuel Albares, who yesterday encouraged the EU to support the meeting scheduled for November 27 in Barcelona as a possible scenario for peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
“I wanted to highlight and draw the attention of my colleagues to a meeting that is going to happen no matter what, which is a very important meeting where all of us Europeans and many Arab countries will sit, in addition to Israel and Palestine, “standing together.” equality,” Albares highlighted. The high representative of Foreign Policy of the EU, Josep Borrell, has asked the Twenty-seven to send delegations at the highest level, that is, to the heads of the Foreign Ministries and not to second swords, as often happens with delegations of countries far from the region.
“It can be a great opportunity to build bridges,” claimed Albares, who evoked Spain's experience in 1991, when it held the Madrid peace conference, the prelude to the Oslo agreements. More than a month before the meeting, "it is impossible to know who will come or what the conditions of violence will be in the region" but "for Spain, let it not be left," added the minister, who claimed the defense of a peace formula based on the two-state solution, as stated in the EU position. Borrell also evoked it although, he said, it seems “more and more distant.”
