Ankara reaches out, Brussels responds. But at what cost? On 14 January 2025, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with EU ambassadors in Istanbul. A firm handshake, the usual diplomatic lexicon: mutual respect, shared interests, common values. Yet behind the words lies the enduring question: does Turkey truly want Europe? And is Europe prepared to welcome Turkey?

The event, held on 13 January at the Italian Cultural Institute in Addis Ababa, represents a new step of the Mattei Plan initiative.

The Med-Or Foundation is organizing a seminar on maritime safety on the Abu Dhabi stop of the Nave Amerigo Vespucci World Tour.

Launched in May 2024 in partnership with the LUISS School of Government and the Mediterranean Platform, the master’s programme is one of the Foundation’s activities to promote higher education and research.

The initiative was held in collaboration with the Leonardo Cyber Security Training Centre in Genoa and was attended by students from Jordan, the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan and Ukraine.

The Med-Or Foundation, in collaboration with UNITAR and with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), organized a three-week intensive training course for Somali diplomats in view of Somalia’s entry into the United Nations Security Council in 2025-2026.
