General Assembly of Arab Union of Railways and Economic Unit in Arab League will hold meetings in Damascus

The Economic Unit in the Arab League started activating the work of the Arab Railway Union by communicating with the Syrian Corporation for Railways in Aleppo which is considered the representative of the Union for the current session. Those in charge of the union, in coordination with the economic unit in the Arab League, sent invitations weeks ago to the members of the union to attend the meetings of the union’s general assembly of the aforementioned. According to Acting Secretary-General of the Arab Railways Union, Dr. Najeeb Fares, the majority of member states including Iraq, Egypt, Sudan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Tunisia, Algeria and other countries have confirmed their participation.

In an interview with “Tishreen” Daily, Fares shed light on justifications for halting the work of the Union during the past years, and the meetings of the Board of Directors and the General Assembly of the Arab Railway Union, which were due to the exceptional circumstances that the Arab countries were going  through, in addition to the state of emergency imposed by the Corona pandemic.

For the continuity of the work of the Union’s general secretariat and to achieve its objectives stipulated in its statute, it was necessary to reactivate the Union’s work. So, an extraordinary session of the meetings of the Union’s board of directors and its general assembly is scheduled to be held from the 19th  to the 20th  of this month, in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
