Pompeo is a strong advocate for US engagement in the Mediterranean region. He has called for increased investment in the region and for closer cooperation between the United States, Greece, Israel, and Cyprus. He is also a strong supporter of the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab countries.

"The Mediterranean Sea is a vital artery for global commerce and energy, and it is also a region of great strategic importance to the United States." - Mike Pompeo, former US Secretary of State".

The US former Secretary of State's participation in the AMIF is a definite sign that the United States is invested in the peace and prosperity of the Mediterranean region. It is also a boost for the forum, which is expected to attract a large number of high-level participants.

Here are some of the key topics that are likely to be discussed at the AMIF:

  • The potential for economic cooperation between Greece, Israel, Cyprus, and the United States
  • Ways to strengthen the security and stability of the Mediterranean region
  • The Abraham Accords and their impact on the region
  • The role of the United States in the Mediterranean region

The AMIF is a timely and important event as it follows the UNGA and the BRICS meetings. The Mediterranean region is vulnerable to continuous increasing challenges, including economic instability, political turmoil, and security threats. The forum is an unprecedented meeting of positive and proactive dialogue to encourage cooperation between the countries of the region. David S. Sasson, Chairman and host of the American Mediterranean Investment Forum, believes the forum can also help to strengthen the US-Mediterranean partnership.
