Mediterranean lands discuss fostering regional cooperation

Representatives from more than 30 countries began a seminar here Tuesday on Mediterranean cooperation, under the auspices of the European Security Conference.

Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti addressed the opening session of the seminar, which is being held at ambassadorial or senior civil servant level. Some Arab governments stayed away because Israel was invited.

The seminar will cover a range of subjects from telecommunications to transport, and from ecology and fishing to research on diseases. It is not expected to discuss security or East-West political issues.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
