\u201cDialogue, Ownership, Responsibility\u201d main motto of the <\/strong>Italian 2018 OSCE Chairmanship, says Italy\u2019s Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano.<\/strong><\/p>\n

VIENNA, 1 January 2018 \u2013 \u201cStrengthening multilateralism as an instrument to relaunch the “spirit of Helsinki” and to further promote peace, security, stability and co-operation is Italy\u2019s key priority for its 2018 OSCE Chairmanship,\u201d said today the Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano as he took up the post of Chairperson-in-Office of the regional security organization.<\/p>\n

Under the motto \u201cDialogue, Ownership, Responsibility\u201d the Italian OSCE Chairmanship\u2019s approach will be open, transparent and inclusive. \u201cShared challenges require common solutions. We will seek to revive the \u2018spirit of Helsinki\u2019, not by turning to the past, but by demonstrating anew the determination that secured dialogue even in the toughest years of the Cold War. The Italian Chairmanship will seek to lead all OSCE efforts to overcome divisions within and between participating States,\u201d Alfano said.<\/p>\n

The Chairperson-in-Office encouraged the OSCE\u2019s participating States to show political will in addressing common security challenges: \u201cThe OSCE is an organization that has always achieved concrete results when all its participating States have collaborated constructively and with a genuine spirit of shared responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crisis in and around Ukraine has called into question the very principles on which the OSCE is based. Italy will continue to support all OSCE efforts towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict and urges the sides to fully implement the Minsk agreements,\u201d said Alfano.<\/p>\n

Italy, he said, would also continue strengthening the OSCE\u2019s work to address other protracted conflicts through the existing formats: the Geneva International Discussions on dealing with the consequences of the 2008 conflict in Georgia; the 5+2 Transdniestrian settlement talks; and the work of the Minsk Group and the efforts of its three Co-Chairs in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.<\/p>\n

We intend to foster a comprehensive security approach that should address also transnational threats, while protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms and investing in education and culture, as well as in the empowerment of women and youth,\u201d said the new Chairperson-in-Office. Bridging the inequality gap through responsible leadership will be the main priority in the economic and environmental dimension of security.<\/p>\n

The Italian Chairmanship aims at promoting a stronger focus within the OSCE on challenges and opportunities coming from the Mediterranean region, said Alfano. \u201cThe Mediterranean dimension is complementary, and not an alternative, to the OSCE’s Euro-Asian dimension\u201d he stressed pointing in particular to the migration crisis. \u201cWe intend to address this challenge not only from a security point of view but also through the fight against intolerance and discrimination, promoting pluralism, inclusion and inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue, which are the foundations of peace and security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are convinced that, focusing on the implementation of OSCE principles and commitments, the respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of all individuals is a key precondition for long-lasting peace, security and sustainable development. In this regard the role of OSCE\u2019s autonomous institutions are an extremely important added value\u201d the Chairperson-in-Office pointed out.<\/p>\n

Foreign Minister and OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Angelino Alfano will present Italy\u2019s priorities to the OSCE Permanent Council on 11 January in Vienna.<\/p>\n
