The ministerial meeting of the Council, chaired by Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy,
focused on enhancing joint Arab cooperation in economic and social areas. The discussions
included strategies for implementing executive decisions from previous sessions, considering the
current regional and international developments.

At the outset of his speech at the Council, Bin Touq thanked Yousef Alshamali, Minister of Industry,
Trade and Supply of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, for his sincere efforts and distinguished role
during Jordan’s presidency of the previous session of the Council. He also thanked the General
Secretariat of the League of Arab States, represented by Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary General, for
the exceptional efforts exerted in preparing and organising the current session.

Abdullah bin Touq stressed that AESC represents one of the prominent Arab platforms for
discussion and coordination of joint efforts to create new economic and development
opportunities that enhance the growth and sustainability of Arab economies. “The meeting of the
current session of the Council is an important platform to push development efforts among
member states to higher levels, contributing to the growth of joint development activities and
achieving Arab economic and social integration,” he added. (ANI/WAM)
