Arab, western officials urges for intl. collaboration


(MENAFN) Arab and western officials called for more global collaboration on Saturday, to face challenges as a result of climate change, violence, war and the energy crisis.

Ministers and policy makers were joining the yearly Manama Dialogue conference in Bahrain, where rules on security were being negotiated.

“Let us join forces for our collective security. Gulf security matters to Europe, as Europe’s security matters to the Gulf,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced in her opening address.

Ms von der Leyen stated the EU was set to do its part in strengthening financial and security arrangement with the district.

“The world needs a stronger security architecture, against the spread of chaos. We know this in Europe and it matters also here in the Gulf,” she added.

The EU leader’s comments were echoed by Gulf Co-operation Council Secretary General Nayef Al Hajraf.

“Working together is a must, to address such challenges, we are much stronger and better off if we start to work together to maximise our resilience,” he also noted.
