Jordan participated in the meetings of the 4th Arab Sustainable Development Week, which kicked off Sunday at the Arab League in Cairo.
Jordan’s ambassador to Egypt and permanent representative to the Arab League, Amjad Adaileh, chaired the Jordanian delegation participating in the gathering, as well as ministerial delegations from Arab countries and regional and international organizations, most notably the United Nations, the World Bank and the European Union.
The three-day Arab event, held under the theme “Together for Sustainable Recovery” and under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, will discuss ways to mitigate the negative impacts and effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on achieving sustainable development goals in Arab countries.
Lamia Zu’bi, Director of Development Plans and Programs at the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, said that the Jordanian participation in this Arab event is part of Jordan’s keenness to work towards strengthening joint Arab cooperation in light of rapid economic and social conditions and changes that impose more challenges and burdens and negatively affect governments’ efforts toward achieving sustainable development.
