The International Executive Committee of the "United States of the World" (SUM) has designated the city of Odessa as the Capital of the "Greater Mediterranean": the geopolitical macro-area of SUM that includes the countries bordering the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Gulf.
The mayor of Odessa thanked for the high recognition by sending an official document of adhesion.
President Michele Capasso recalled the solidarity initiatives for Odessa coordinated by Senator Giuseppe Lumia - head of the SUM Commission for Justice and Human Rights - ensuring the Foundation's intervention at UNESCO for the inclusion of the city's historic centre in the World Heritage List.
Special thanks to the Ambassador for Italy in Odessa, Attilio Malliani.
