UAE participates in 116th Arab Economic and Social Council in Cairo

CAIRO, 3rd September 2025 (WAM) -- The UAE participated in the 116th session of the Arab Economic and Social Council, held at
the headquarters of the Arab League in Cairo from August 31 to September 3, 2025.

Chaired by the Republic of Tunisia and attended by delegations from member states, the session explored prospects for enhanced Arab
cooperation in economic and social fields.

Discussions also focused on supporting sustainable development plans and coordinating efforts on high-priority regional and
international issues.

Abdullah Ahmed Al Saleh, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, who headed the UAE delegation at the meetings,
emphasised that the UAE, under the guidance of its wise leadership, remains committed to actively shaping and implementing
economic and social initiatives that foster Arab economic integration and support the welfare of Arab societies. "The session
represents an important milestone in aligning positions and coordinating joint efforts toward achieving comprehensive development
across the region," he said.

He pointed out that the items on the agenda address regional priorities amid international shifts, particularly in enhancing intra-Arab
trade, strengthening food and water security, improving the investment and business climate, advancing digital transformation, and
empowering youth and women to achieve inclusive development in Arab societies.

"The UAE attaches great importance to the development of Arab organisations, recognising them as centres of expertise that provide
member states with specialised knowledge and services," 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 organisations and strengthen their capacity to support development priorities and
our joint efforts."
