Moussa receives report on European - Mediterranean ministerial conference

Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa received a detailed report from Fathi El-Shazeli, Egypt's assistant foreign minister for European affairs, that deals with the outcomes of talks held with officials in both Italy and Germany.

After his return, El-Shazeli said he has discussed with the officials in the Foreign Ministries of Germany and Italy the subject of setting up the Euro - Mediterranean ministerial conference, which is to be held during next April in Stuttgart, Germany.

He also added that he discussed with the general secretary at the Foreign Ministry in Italy, Egyptian - Italian joint initiatives, at the top of which is an initiative concerning dealing with disasters, which is about to be implemented at the convening of the instructing committee between the two countries in September in Rome.

El-Shazeli said another initiative concerns Egyptian - Italian cooperation in the field of agro-industries rather than the new Egyptian initiative for protecting the environment in the Mediterranean.
