In Geneva, UfM Senior Economic Advisor, Marwa Farghali, opened yesterday the 2nd UfM Study Visit on International Trade and Investment Policy, organised in collaboration with @UNCTAD.

The visit brings together participants representing governments, the private sector and youth to discuss digital trade and e-commerce.

As digital trade reshapes economies across the Euro-Mediterranean region, strengthening e-commerce readiness and building the capacity to harness its potential are critical to advancing deeper regional integration.

Thank you @UNESCO_DG Director-General Khaled El-Enany for a productive meeting, which opened a new phase of reinforced cooperation between the UfM and @UNESCO for the people and peace in the Mediterranean.

We identified strong synergies between UNESCO’s global agenda and the UfM’s regional action, particularly in higher education, science, and cultural heritage, key drivers of resilience, recovery, and long-term stability, especially in contexts affected by crisis.

Together, we can turn shared priorities – higher education, science, heritage - into concrete impact across our region.
