Mr. Addadi took the opportunity to reiterate the support of the ICMG to MAU encouraging its participation in the framework of the training programs of the Cooperation and Development Commission. He did not fail to acknowledge the efforts of the MAU and to congratulate FIDAL and the city of Jesolo for the excellent hospitality towards the various delegations and the smooth running of the event.

Having attended the Opening Ceremony, the ICMG President was able to witness the good level of Mediterranean Athletics and high performances in some of the events.
