(ANSAmed) - PESCARA, DECEMBER 9 - From December 13 to December
15, the Abruzzo region will be hosting the 6th international
''Large Projects in the Mediterranean'' meeting in Chieti's
Chamber of Commerce exhibition space.
Taking part in the meeting will be Bulgaria's ambassador Boyco
Kadrinov and representatives from the governments of Montenegro,
Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Libya, Morocco, Turkey,
Angola, Moldavia and the Abruzzo regional government, as well
as local administrators, institute directors and associations of
labour categories. The meeting will also include state-owned
companies and structures and ones in which the state holds
shares.
The region's vice president Alfredo Castiglione said in the
presentation that ''it is an important appointment which is on
its way to becoming, alongside FORUMED, another important moment
of dialogue and exchange between the entrepreneurial world,
institutions and the financial world on what is happening and
one the opportunities of the entire Euro-Mediterranean area, and
therefore also the Balkans.''
Castiglione said that ''we need to achieve a true free trade
zone in the Mediterranean, looking at the matter from the point
of view of innovation centres between SMEs and network
contracts, two fundamental tools for internationalisation
policies.''
Castiglione also underscored Abruzzo's role as the head region
in a number of projects with overseas countries: it is the
coordinating region for IPA Balkan Area projects and has been
awarded two important Med projects -Rempo Retail and Otremed -
and with the resources on their way from the FAS and with the
Progetto Abruzzo 2015, the region intends to carry out
initiatives for the formation of network contracts specifically
for the Mediterranean area, coordinating the guiding principles
and the planning. (ANSAmed).
