He said the important political, security and economic issues on the agenda require all to strive towards developing collective positions towards them in a manner that preserves the common Arab interests and fulfils the aspirations of the peoples for security, stability and prosperity.
The Qatari diplomat expressed confidence that everyone is determined to improve the joint Arab action and strive towards overcoming and removing all obstacles that prevent its development.
