Med9 Summit: Italy-Jordan-Cyprus-European Commission quadrilateral meeting

In the margins of today’s Med9 Summit in Paphos, the President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, organised a quadrilateral meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to discuss the issue of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Jordan and other states in the region. This issue has become even more pressing in light of the most recent developments in the Middle East crisis.

The leaders discussed concrete solutions to create the conditions for Syrian refugees to be able to voluntarily return to their homeland in a safe and sustainable way, in collaboration with the main humanitarian organisations operating in the region.
