Meanwhile, the Turkish National Intelligence Academy participated in the Munich Security Conference with a panel discussion entitled “Rethinking Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation and European Security in a Changing World Order”.
The session was attended by businessmen, experts, prominent diplomats and representatives of NATO and the European Union, according to a statement by the academy on Saturday.
The session discussed the growing importance of Mediterranean security for European security, the need to re-place Mediterranean security at the heart of European security, the necessary steps in this direction, and the obstacles in its path.
Academy President Professor Dr. Talha Köse pointed out that there are problems in coordination between NATO and European actors, which are causing gaps in European security.
He stressed that the Mediterranean region was considered a secondary pillar in the new world order, and that the security of the Mediterranean, which had been practically neglected, must now be addressed with a more centralized and important approach.
