Significance Diplomats from 26 countries attended, including US Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini. Its originality lay in the absence of the two protagonists, Israel and the internationally recognised representative of the Palestinians, the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), as well as in a clear French intention to put pressure on them and retake the initiative in the Middle East. Impacts Owing to vague expectations and minimal US commitment, the conference was not perceived as the major diplomatic breakthrough once hoped for. The meeting might restart Euro-Mediterranean and possibly French-Arab cooperation on the topic. In the absence of progress in peace negotiations, the PLO will look to more unilateral measures against Israel in international fora.

In spite of her troubled presidency at home and premature, ignominious exit from power, Park Geun-hye made serious attempts to bolster the main direction of the Republic of Korea’s (ROK) foreign policy toward the Middle East. A collaborative drive for accomplishing a new momentous boom was by and large a dominant and recurring theme in the Park government’s overall approach to the region. Park enjoyed both personal motivation as well as politico-economic justifications to push for such arduous yet potentially viable objective. Although the ROK’s yearning for a second boom in the Middle East was not ultimately accomplished under the Park presidency, nonetheless, the very aspiration played a crucial role in either rekindling or initiating policy measures in South Korea’s orientation toward different parts of a greater Middle East region, extending from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to Morocco.
