  April 1, 1997 - Complete

  The U.S./Middle East Project convenes an annual, two-day U.S.-European consultation with senior government officials from the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, the intelligence community, and their counterparts from over ten European Union countries to discuss U.S. and European approaches to Middle East peace-making. Last year’s consultation, the fifth in a series of annual meetings, took place in Madrid, Spain, under the co-sponsorship of the Spanish Foreign Ministry. The next meeting will take place in Italy, under the co-sponsorship of the Italian Foreign Ministry.

  The four previous consultations, designed to create greater understanding and coordination between U.S. and European policymakers, took place in Paris (1997), Washington, D.C. (1998), London (1999) and Berlin (2000).
