Qatar participated in the proceedings of the extraordinary session of the Economic and Social Council at the ministerial level, held at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo, with the participation of heads and members of Arab delegations. The Qatari delegation was headed by Dr Saud bin Abdullah Al Attiyah, Deputy Undersecretary for Economic Affairs at the Ministry of Finance. The agenda of the council discusses a number of economic and social issues, primarily the progress made in completing the requirements of the Greater Arab Free Trade Area and developments in the Arab Customs Union. The agenda also reviewed the Arab Food Security Strategy for 2025–2030. It is worth noting that these meetings are preparatory for the 34th Ordinary Summit and the 5th Development Summit, which are scheduled to take place in May in the Republic of Iraq.
