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.
