Summary:
This report reviews developments in the multilateral Middle East peace talks since 1991; details the agendas, accomplishments, and setbacks in each of the five multilateral Working groups established as a part of the Madrid peace process; highlights various offshoots of the multilateral talks such as the Middle East and North Africa Economic Summit (MENA) and the Middle East Development Bank (MEDB); describes the European-Mediterranean Partnership Initiative and its relationship with the multilateral track of the peace process; and discusses the potential for further regional cooperation in the context of a revived multilateral track.
