RIYADH: The Arab Economic, Social and Development Summit slated to open in Kuwait today underlines the need for balanced solutions to secure an enduring socioeconomic future for the Arab region. “Economic growth, social welfare and development are inextricably interdependent,” Mohammad Abdullah Abul Hasan, chairman of the Information Committee of Arab Summit and adviser at Diwan Al-Emiri in Kuwait, said here yesterday.
Abul Hasan said Arab leaders would discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip at the summit. “It is only logical and natural that Gaza will be at the heart of the Kuwait summit, despite the cease-fire,” said the Kuwaiti official, adding that the leaders would discuss how to unify the Arab position and intensify relief and reconstruction efforts.
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah arrived in Kuwait City yesterday, leading the Saudi delegation to the summit.
“Given the prevalent challenges, particularly the aftermath of the global financial meltdown, the world food shortage and the Gaza crisis, Kuwait recognizes that any strategy for our future should adopt a balanced approach, where all socioeconomic forces work together to maintain a positive equilibrium,” said Abul Hasan. The official added: “As a country that shares the aspirations of the Arab states, we’re honored to host the Arab summit.”
