Abstract
The March 24, 2010 ministerial
consultation to discuss regional cooperation and integration
initiatives for the Arab world was a key milestone in the
Arab world initiative, one of the six strategic directions
outlined by President Zoellick in October 2007. This
important first round of regional deliberations was hosted
under the patronage of the ministry of investment of Egypt.
The backing of Egypt and its leadership in supporting
cooperation within the region is critical given its
strategic standing, location and resource base. Going
forward, the plan is to rotate events to discuss Arab world
cooperation through different locations across the region.
