His remarks came today during the opening of the 114th regular session of the Arab

Economic and Social Council (AESC) at the headquarters of the General Secretariat

of the Arab League.

Al Kait noted that the topics under consideration would help chart a course for more

effective Arab collaboration, tapping into the region's rich resources and potential.

The two-day meeting will focus on key areas, including the economic and social

files to be presented at the upcoming Arab League Summit in Baghdad in 2025.

The meeting will also discuss the Greater Arab Free Trade Area and developments

in the Arab Customs Union, alongside challenges and opportunities in enhancing

intra-Arab trade and investment. Additionally, the committee will review proposals

to strengthen cooperation in sectors like tourism, antiquities, and space research,

economic strategies and turning Arab nations into influential economic players on
the global stage. He called for ongoing efforts to build on these initiatives,

highlighting the need for innovative approaches that align with the Arab League's
broader objectives.
