Like Professor Stephen Calleya, I first met Professor de Marco in 1992 when he addressed a Wilton Park conference on enlargement of the European Union (EU). As may know, Wilton Park ( www.wiltonpark.org.uk ) is an independent higher level international policy forum attached to the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Wilton Park runs most of its 50 annual roundtable conferences at its 16th century modernised house south of London, but it also has convened more than 60 residential conferences in 30 countries around the world, including 4 in Malta, 3 in Turkey and 2 in Egypt.

Dr. Joe Borg, Chairman of MEDAC, and to Prof. Stephen Calleya, Director of MEDAC, as well as the organizers for inviting me to be part of the feature panel paying tribute to Prof. Guido de Marco. The theme of my submission is “My Country “EGYPT” and the Arab Region Enjoyed De Marco’s True Friendship” This great moment is a powerful occasion to commemorate, recollect, and most important to recognize Professor Guido de Marco’s legacy in Malta’s political life, in the world of diplomacy and politics, and in, regional Euro-Mediterranean dialogue and cooperation. He believed that such cooperation is a basic element in creating structures to consolidate regional security and cooperation.

A lawyer who in the field of criminal law had no equals; a politician who was, in equal measure, strategic and principled; a diplomat whose powers of persuasion became justly famous; a statesman who served his country with dignity and intelligence; a gentleman who was as kind as he could be pugnacious.
