PAM`s primary mission is to assert the centrality of the Mediterranean area and reaffirm the key role of the Organisation`s Members in addressing their common interests and shared concerns through a forum specifically created for that purpose.
PAM promotes the development of forms of cooperation, to ensure that the wealth of land and sea-based human and natural resources available to the region are used in an optimal and sustainable manner. Through PAM, political dialogue and understanding between the Member States will be strengthened and this can be achieved, notably, by:
Fostering and building confidence among Mediterranean States;
Guaranteeing regional security, stability and promoting peace;
Consolidating the endeavours of Mediterranean States;
Presenting opinions and recommendations to national parliaments and governments, regional organizations and international fora.
