[01] Euro-Med culture ministers meet
Sessions of a two-day Euro-Med summit of culture ministers concluded on
Friday in Athens, with delegates later given a guided tour of the new
Acropolis Museum.
"The Euro-Mediterranean culture ministers' summit brings peoples closer
together, it creates the conditions for mutual understanding and above
all, it contributes to the peaceful co-existence and greater economic
development of the region," Greek Culture Minister Mihalis Liapis
said.
The main items on the agenda included joint action against the illegal
trade in cultural goods and the return of stolen items to the countries
of their origin.
