06/07/2009. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Miguel Ángel Moratinos, is participating in Alicante in the ceremony for the constitution of the Governing Body of the Casa del Mediterráneo, whose Articles of Agreement was signed on April 30.
The focus of this new organization is to become an efficient and necessary means for promoting the coming together of the different societies, cultures and people from both sides of the Mediterranean.
The Casa del Mediterráneo was created in the image of similar institutions promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation such as Casa de América, Casa Asia, Casa Árabe, Casa África, and Casa Sefarad-Israel. These are specialized public entities aimed at promoting Spain’s relations with regions of interest for foreign policy by means of public diplomacy.
