Amman:The Executive Bureau of the Council of Arab Cybersecurity Ministers convened its fourth ordinary meeting on Wednesday through a video conference. The session saw the participation of representatives from member states alongside the Council's Secretary-General, Ibrahim Al-Freih.
According to Jordan News Agency, the meeting concentrated on monitoring the progress of the Arab Strategy for Cybersecurity and made preparations for the upcoming third ordinary session of the Council of Arab Cybersecurity Ministers, slated to occur later this month in Doha, Qatar.

The Council functions under the auspices of the Arab League to develop general policies, establish strategic priorities, and endorse joint action plans to foster pan-Arab cybersecurity cooperation across economic, security, and legislative spheres.
