Maghreb foreign ministers hold extraordinary session in Libya
Maghreb-Libya, Politics, 4/26/2004
An extraordinary session of foreign ministers of the five Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) countries opened in Tripoli this Saturday to examine means to activate the union institutions.
The session, the first one held in Libya since the north African country took over the rotating chairmanship of the UMA that also gathers Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia, is also held in the run up to the Arab summit slated for next month in Tunisia.
Participants will seek to coordinate stances on the situation in Palestine and in Iraq and within the Euro-Mediterranean forum (comprising five southern and five northern Mediterranean countries).
Morocco is represented at the session by secretary general of the foreign affairs and cooperation ministry, Rachad Bouhlal, while Tunisia, Algeria and Libya have sent their foreign ministers and Mauritania delegated secretary of state in charge of the UMA.
Habib Boulares, secretary general of the UMA, set up in 1989 in Marrakesh, is also present in the foreign ministers' meeting.
