The Third Mediterranean Colloquium will be held in Florence May 19-25, it was announced today after a meeting here of the Preparatory Committee under the chairmanship of Mayor Giorgio La Pira, organizer of the first two conclaves.
The Second Colloquium was held in October 1960 with the participation of an important group of delegates from Israel, including Professor Martin Buber. Israeli delegates, taking part as individuals, are expected also for the third assembly here. Writers and authoritative exponents of cultural leadership in Arab countries also are again expected.
While the agenda for the May conclave has not yet been completely worked out, it was expected that the principal theme would be an analysis of the possibilities of cooperation between Mediterranean and African countries and of the problems connected with goals of international cooperation at the end of the colonialist period.
