President Prodi welcomes new international initiative for Mideast Peace

Sommaire: May 2, 2002: President Prodi welcomes new international initiative for Mideast Peace (Washington, D.C.)

Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission, welcomed the result of the 'Quartet' meeting on the Mideast held in Washington DC today. The Quartet comprises the European Union, the United States, the Russian Federation and the United Nations. It was agreed to work over the next few weeks on a set of principles to form the basis of a meeting in the early summer to resume the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

President Romano Prodi said:

"This is precisely the result I had called for in all my contacts with the parties, Arab leaders and President Putin. At the EU-US summit today, which preceded the quartet meeting, we agreed with President George W. Bush on this way forward. The European Commission will do its utmost to support these efforts to secure a lasting peace in the Middle East."
