VIII. SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND HUMAN PARTNERSHIP Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures and Civilisations 61. Ministers agreed that the Foundation should be known as “The Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue of Cultures”. They accepted with gratitude the offer of Egypt and Sweden that it should have its headquarters in Alexandria Library in tandem with the Swedish Institute in Alexandria. Ministers noted that the Foundation would serve as a forum for frank and open discussions, open to all parties. 62. In recognition of the offers made by Cyprus, Italy and Malta, Ministers also agreed that, in its activities with the network of networks, the Foundation would be particularly attentive to supporting events in those countries. In this regard Ministers welcomed the readiness of Italy as well as a similar offer by Malta to provide special assistance to the Foundation during its starting phase. 63. In this context, taking into consideration the special needs of the Foundation during the initial period of activities, they invite the Foundation to include in its work programme the necessary arrangements with the Heads of the national networks, notably in those three countries, in order to identify proper actions for contributing to the success of the Euromed Foundation. The results of these arrangements will be evaluated as part of the overall review of the Foundation’s functioning planned after three years of its operations as agreed in Naples. 64. Ministers instructed the Euro-Mediterranean Committee to prepare as a matter of urgency a revised timetable for completing the work on all outstanding matters concerning the Foundation.
