| Mr Jean-Michel Dumont, Secretary-General of the Parliamentary | Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation, accompanied by Dr Alex Sceberras Trigona, MP, visited Madam Speaker, Notary Myriam Spiteri Debono, today Friday, 17 October 1997, at her office at the Palace, Valletta. |
| Madam Speaker, Mr Dumont and Dr Sceberras Trigona reviewed | preparations underway for the holding in Malta, on 8-9 November 1997, of the parliamentary EURO-ARAB DIALOGUE meeting. This international conference is being held in Malta as a result of Dr Sceberras Trigona's initiative whilst attending last April's Euro-Arab meeting in Dubai, where he had successfully proposed Malta as the venue for the meeting, in lieu of a number of Scandinavian proposals. |
| The holding of the meeting in Malta comes at a critical stage in | the Middle East peace process which is high on the agenda of the conference. |
| This initiative is supported by both sides of the House of | Representatives. The Leader of the Opposition, Dr Eddie Fenech Adami, and the Leader of the House, Foreign Minister Dr George W. Vella, have been invited to address the conference. The opening session will be presided over by the Speaker, when the Prime Minister Dr Alfred Sant will deliver a key-note address to the conference, followed by representatives of the European Union and the Arab League. |
