           “The UAE attaches great importance to the development of Arab organizations, recognizing them as
           centers of expertise that provide member states with specialized knowledge and services,” H.E. Al Saleh

           stated. “This commitment stems from a resolution adopted during the Council’s previous session to form
           an expert task force based on a working paper submitted by the UAE, aimed at formulating effective
           strategies to boost the efficiency of Arab organizations and strengthen their capacity to support

           development priorities and our joint efforts.”

           The Council reviewed follow-up reports on the implementation of resolutions from previous Arab summits

           and sessions, examining progress in addressing joint Arab economic and social issues, priority projects
           and initiatives, and the expansion of partnerships between Arab organizations and international and
           regional bodies.


           On the economic front, the Council discussed the next phase of the Arab joint economic action program.
           This includes eliminating customs barriers, finalizing requirements for the Arab Customs Union, and
           activating the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA). The Council also explored ways to develop

           transportation networks and logistics connections among Arab states, and to promote entrepreneurship
           through joint Arab financing initiatives and training programs.

           On the social level, the Council examined several initiatives to support public health programs, broaden

           educational initiatives that develop future-ready skills, and strengthen cultural and media collaboration
           among member states to empower women and youth in the labor market. It also discussed the Arab
           strategy for the empowerment of people with determination, in line with the 2030 Sustainable
