شارك في الجلسة الأولى بعنوان: «تحولات مشهد التهديدات وديناميكيات الأمن الإقليمي» كلٌّ من معالي السيد لويجي دي مايو، الممثل الخاص للاتحاد الأوروبي لمنطقة الخليج @EUSR_Gulf @eu_eeas ، والسيدة آن كلير لوجاندر، رئيسة معهد العالم العربي @AClaireLegendre @imarabe ، وسعادة الدكتور ماجد الأنصاري @majedalansari ، مستشار رئيس مجلس الوزراء والمتحدث الرسمي باسم وزارة الخارجية بدولة قطر @MofaQatar_AR ، ورئيس مركز أبحاث السياسات الدولية @CIPResearch.
وأكدت المناقشات أن منطقة الخليج تدخل مرحلة استراتيجية جديدة، تتزايد فيها الروابط بين الصراعات الإقليمية والتنافس الجيوسياسي والأمن الاقتصادي، وأن أمن الخليج أصبح جزءًا لا يتجزأ من الاستقرار الأوروبي والعالمي.
وشدد المشاركون على ضرورة تجاوز ترتيبات الأمن المستقبلية لإدارة الأزمات، وصولًا إلى بناء منظومة إقليمية شاملة تجمع بين الردع والدبلوماسية وحرية الملاحة والمرونة الاقتصادية والحوار السياسي الشامل.

The discussion highlighted that the Gulf is entering a new strategic phase in which regional conflicts, geopolitical competition, and economic security are becoming increasingly interconnected. Speakers emphasized that Gulf security is now inseparable from European and global stability and agreed that future security arrangements must move beyond crisis management towards a more comprehensive regional architecture that integrates deterrence, diplomacy, freedom of navigation, economic resilience, and inclusive political dialogue.

At Palazzo Clerici in Milan, Doha Forum and @MEDialogues convened a conversation on the future of EU–GCC relations, set against rising regional instability, in partnership with @ispionline and @CIPResearch.
