Both speakers highlighted the importance of joining forces to address common challenges such as generating green growth, supporting economic recovery and development, seizing the digital transition, amongst others.
The EU representatives further stressed the importance of working with regional organisations such as the League of Arab States and underscored that enhancing inter-regional and trilateral cooperation is a key objective of the new Agenda.
