The  Second Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean will be held in Malta between the 22nd  and  24th  November  2007.  

This occasion will mark the official opening of the Secretariat of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean which will be based in Malta and housed at Palazzo  Spinola  in St. Julians. The Secretary General of the PAM  is  Mr. Sergio  Piazzi.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean  was  set up in Nafplion,  Greece,  in 2005  on the initiative  of the Maltese Parliamentary Delegation to the Inter--Parliamentary Union.  The Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean  will bring together,  for the first time, all the national parliaments on the Mediterranean littoral.  The  Assembly,  which held its inaugural session in Amman, Jordan, in September 2006,  will serve as a forum for political and economic cooperation as well as dialogue between cultures, civilizations and religions.

  The meeting in Malta  will launch a strategy document entitled  ‘Building on our common Mediterranean Heritage’ that outlines, amongst other things, the strategic objectives and priorities of the Parliamentary Assembly.
