Our meeting will therefore be particularly important to highlight the need for cooperation in building more resilient and diversified regional value chains, to develop further initiatives to unlock the fuli potential of regional trade and investment, and to turn common challenges into opportunities, in our mutual interest. We encourage you to attend the meeting and to participate in the discussions to boost our cooperation in order to promote sustainable and inclusive development between the two shores of the Mediterranean. 1 very much look seeing you in Valencia. Yours sincerely, II—
