Middle East Programs

Focused on a comprehensive approach toward the Middle East, the Middle East Programs include Partners for New Beginning, the US-Palestinian Partnership, the Emirates-Aspen Forum on Innovation, the US-North Africa Partnership for Economic Opportunity, the US-Lebanon Dialogue, and the Huda and Samia Farouki Speakers Series. These programs and initiatives work with prominent US, Middle East and Muslim businesses, as well as political leaders throughout the regions, that are dedicated to working for a peaceful resolution of all Middle East conflicts and to forging partnerships between the United States and the Muslim world.
