Morocco to Spotlight Global South’s Role in Turbulent Times at MEDays 2025
From conflict zones to climate diplomacy, the 2025 MEDays Forum will bring world leaders and experts to Morocco to rethink global stability and redefine the role of the Global South.
🌍 Tangier, Morocco — July 27, 2025
In a world increasingly fractured by geopolitical rivalries, wars, and economic uncertainty, Tangier is set to become the global stage for dialogue, diplomacy, and strategic vision. From November 26 to 29, 2025, the Moroccan port city will host the 17th edition of the MEDays Forum, under the evocative theme:
“Fractures and Polarization: Reinventing the Global Equation.”
Organized by the Amadeus Institute, this year’s forum arrives at a pivotal moment in world affairs. From the war in Ukraine to unrest in the Sahel, from the rise of populism to the weaponization of energy, the world faces a cascade of crises. The forum aims to confront these fractures head-on and propose actionable frameworks to address the new global disorder.
“This edition will serve as a critical platform to debate the future of international governance and the place of the Global South within it,” said Brahim Fassi Fihri, President of the Amadeus Institute.
🔹 A Platform for Multipolar Dialogue
With over 300 speakers, including heads of state, ministers, diplomats, academics, and CEOs, MEDays 2025 is expected to draw more than 7,000 participants from over 120 countries.
Key topics include:
- Geopolitical reordering and power vacuums
- Energy transition and climate instability
- Digital sovereignty and cyber conflicts
- Multilateralism vs. regionalism
- Africa’s voice in shaping global governance
As global institutions struggle to keep pace with shifting realities, MEDays offers what many consider a “Davos for the Global South”—a rare venue where perspectives from Africa, Asia, and Latin America drive the conversation.
🔹 Morocco’s Growing Strategic Role
Morocco’s choice as host is no coincidence. Over the past decade, the North African kingdom has positioned itself as a bridge between continents, a gateway to Africa, and a leader in renewable energy diplomacy.
“Hosting MEDays reaffirms Morocco’s commitment to multilateral dialogue and regional leadership in times of global polarization,” noted political analyst Dr. Nadia Lakhdar.
Tangier’s transformation into a high-tech and logistics hub further solidifies its role as a venue where ideas, influence, and innovation intersect.
🔹 Human Impact and Urgency
Beyond the headlines, the geopolitical fractures the forum will address are deeply human. Conflicts have displaced over 110 million people globally, while climate-related disasters have affected millions more. Youth unemployment, inflation, and debt crises burden entire regions—especially in Africa and the Middle East.
“We can’t talk about geopolitics in isolation. Every fractured policy or failed dialogue creates ripple effects felt by the most vulnerable,” said Fatima Al-Khatib, a youth activist from Jordan participating in the forum.
MEDays 2025 is expected to propose tangible policy frameworks, multi-stakeholder cooperation models, and public-private partnerships to address urgent global challenges.
