During the meeting, emphasis was placed on the need to reactivate joint Arab action to address the challenges facing Arab countries.

On this occasion, Jerandi stressed that “the divergence of Arab positions on issues raised at the regional and international levels does not serve the interests of Arab countries, as it affects their credibility with international partners, as well as with Arab public opinion.
