Luxembourg's Minsiter of Foreign and European Affairs, Jean Asselborn, is participating in the Sir Bani Yas Forum in the United Arab Emirates from 18 - 20 November 2016, at the invitation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
This forum, organised in cooperation with the International Peace Institute (IPI) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, takes place in the context of multiple efforts within the international community to promote conflict resolution. This initiative aims to foster high-level informal exchanges between government representatives and business and academic experts by focusing on regional security issues and in particular on the latest developments in the Near and Middle East peace process.
The presence of several foreign ministers from EU Member States, the Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), as well as prominent politicians, will discuss and share views on the regional situation in its entirety.
This year's panel discussion will focus on the fight against Daech and international terrorism, the role of Iran and Turkey in the region, and the latest developments in Syria and Iraq.
