Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani will take part, in the Koch Room at Palazzo Madama, in the conference entitled ‘The Central European Initiative (InCE) – Turning an Idea into Reality’, which will bring to a close the celebrations marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Organisation’s Executive Secretariat.
Minister Tajani’s participation will provide an opportunity to reaffirm Italy’s strong interest in Central and South-Eastern Europe and to highlight the efforts to revitalise the Central European Initiative (CEI), promoted by Italy, including within the context of the process of integrating the Western Balkans into the European Union.
The event, organised on the initiative of the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, Senator Maurizio Gasparri, in collaboration with the InCE Secretary-General, Franco Dal Mas, and the President of the Institute of International Affairs, Ambassador Michele Valensise, will also provide an opportunity to present the Institute of International Affairs’ policy paper, entitled ‘The Central European Initiative – Legacy from the Past, Vision for the Future’, which focuses on the organisation’s future prospects and its role within the European context.
