Med-Or Talks launches with Bernardino León

Med-Or Italian Foundation has launched Med-Or Talks, offering in-depth conversations with leading figures in global affairs.

The series will provide a platform for members of the Foundation’s International Board as well as diplomats, institutional representatives, international officials, and business leaders to share their perspectives on today’s most pressing political and economic challenges. Particular attention will be given to developments in the broader Mediterranean region, Africa and the Midflr East alongside wider global dynamics.

The inaugural edition features Bernardino León, former Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Spain and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (2014–2015), in conversation with Danielle Morland.

Episodes of Med-Or Talks will be available on the Foundation’s website, its YouTube channel, and the newly launched Med-Or Virtual Academy (MOVA) page, where the series will sit alongside other initiatives aimed at fostering dialogue and knowledge exchange.
