Visit of the Swedish Ambassador H.E. Jörgen Karlsson to Euromed University of Fes

Euromed University of Fes had the honor of hosting today H.E. Jörgen Karlsson, Ambassador of Sweden to Morocco. During this visit, Ambassador Karlsson met with the President of the University, Prof. Mostapha Bousmina to discuss potential future collaborations. This meeting was marked by fruitful exchanges on topics of mutual interest.

Sweden, known for its strong diplomatic relations with almost all countries of the world, notably the MENA region, seeks through this meeting to expand collaboration opportunities with Morocco. Having launched in 1997 a study on creating a dialogue platform with the MENA region, the Swedish government aimed to further strengthen contacts and cooperation with Middle East and North Africa countries, to facilitate dialogues on issues of common interest and to contribute to the Euro-Mediterranean partnership.

Indeed, Euromed University of Fes welcomes this opportunity for cooperation, particularly in research areas on global issues such as climate change, migration, intergenerational dialogue as well as innovation and entrepreneurship. Placing at the heart of our strategy a foundation based on seven pillars, including dialogue and multiculturalism, these values are also shared by the Swedish Institute for Dialogue for the Middle East and North Africa. In 2023, the Institute carried out a participatory process aimed at exploring and co-creating knowledge on intergenerational dialogue, thus demonstrating its potential to foster mutual understanding and cooperation across generations. This initiative resonates particularly with our commitment at Euromed University of Fes to strengthen exchanges and promote intercultural dialogue across all our research and development projects.
