Lombardi calls on France, Algeria to concede own mistakes

(Special to The Reference) – A geostrategic affairs specialist said today that relations between France and Algeria open the door for optimism.

Roland Lombardi added that the two countries can reconcile in the future and that they can start projects that bring their two peoples closer together.

He said at a seminar organized by the Center for Middle East Studies in Paris on dialogue between the two banks of the Mediterranean that both sides have to concede their own mistakes and move ahead by turning a new chapter in their relations.

He called for putting an end to ideological differences inside France so that France can get closer to Arab states.

The seminar focuses on cooperation between Europe and non-European Mediterranean states, including Egypt, in the fight against terrorism; illegal immigration; education, and water.

The seminar is held on the sidelines of the Two Mediterranean Banks summit which is held in Marseilles on June 23 and 24.

CEMO takes the opportunity of the summit to open discussion on the issues that cause problems between countries on the two banks of the Mediterranean.

Apart from the Arab-Israeli conflict, which stands behind most of the violence in our world today, the Arab Spring came to wreak disaster on the world and widen the scope of problems in it.
