The Policy Center for the New South, under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, has hosted the 11th edition of its annual Atlantic Dialogues International Conference in Marrakech from December 14 to 16, 2022. Over 350 guests from 60 different countries have taken part in this first in-person edition in three years, under the theme “Cooperation in a Mutating World: Opportunities of the Wider Atlantic”. The most recent edition in this format, held in 2019 address “The South in the Time of Turmoil”, and welcomed over 500 participants from over 90 countries . Two online editions were held due to the Covid-19 pandemic that provided a view of the Covid crisis from the Southern Atlantic in 2020, and the prospects of a Wider Atlantic recovery in 2021, reaching an audience of over 70,000 in 2021. 

As Karim El Aynaoui, Executive President of the Policy Center for the New South, stated in his opening remarks of the 2022 edition, “we do not need to agree on everything, but we must have a minimum of common values to work together”. 

The theme for 2022, chosen collectively by the Policy Center for the New South’s pool of senior experts, came about as a result of multiple crises: the recovery post Covid-19, war in Ukraine, climate change... All these shocks expose the limits of neoliberalism and multilateralism, while opening new opportunities for cooperation in a world that has become interdependent. From climate diplomacy to innovations in energy and agriculture, through infrastructure and digital revolution, the topics of the 2022 Atlantic Dialogues conference have explored possible common strategies through 11 plenary sessions, livestreamed on the Policy Center’s social networks and a dedicated web TV Channel, AD TV.

    Le minilatéralisme, approche flexible et rapide de la coopération internationale, s'avère efficace pour relever des défis communs entre un petit nombre d'États. Inspiré du « Dialogue 5+5 » méditerranéen, ce concept est proposé pour renforcer la coopération euro-africaine dans l'espace atlantique, en créant un forum « 3+3 » réunissant l'Espagne, la France, le Portugal, le Maroc, la Mauritanie et le Sénégal.
