The platform for political dialogue and Parliamentary Cooperation in the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf Regions

In the first five months of 2021, during the reporting period, PAM continued its rigorous work and activities within the work of its three Standing Committees; the 1st on Political and Security-related Cooperation, the 2nd on Economic, Social and Environmental Cooperation and the 3rd on Dialogue among Civilizations and Human Rights. This came despite the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and its related repercussions, which led PAM management to adapt its working methods accordingly.

I am pleased to present to you the Annual Report on the activities of the Assembly for 2020. It contains a detailed overview of our achievements, the priority issues we have addressed, the work carried out by our Committees, and the plan for action in the coming months.

In the first half of 2020, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean continued to focus on pressing issues for the Euro-Mediterranean region, while simultaneously adapting its priorities and modus operandi due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

I would like to thank the all the Honorable Delegates of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean, as well as our national parliaments, PAM Secretariat and partner organizations, for their hard work and dedication that resulted in another remarkable and successful year for our Assembly in 2019.

In the first half of 2019, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean has focused its efforts on those strategic issues that are most pressing for the EuroMediterranean region, including political dialogue, security, environment, economic growth, human rights, and mass migrations, among other topics.

In 2018, PAM’s parliamentary diplomacy efforts focused on political dialogue, confidence building, peace efforts, human rights and socio-economic growth throughout the Euro-Mediterranean region, with particular emphasis in the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans.
