Al-Musafer: King's Speech at the UN Touched the Feelings of the Arab World

Qatari thinker Dr. Mohamed Al-Musafer said that King Abdullah II's speech before the UN General Assembly was strong and clear, and touched the feelings of the Arab world, especially in its clear stance towards what is happening in Palestine and the region.

Al-Musafer added, during a seminar titled "Jordan in the Second Millennium: A Model of a Stable State" within the activities of the Amman International Book Fair, moderated by Dr. Hamza Al-Akailah, that the speech deserves to be taken seriously by Arab intellectual and political elites, to be translated into practical positions and plans, calling for enhancing Arab coordination to face common challenges.

He pointed out that Jordan represents a model of stability and a center for joint Arab action, overcoming the limitations of its resources and the weight of regional crises.

He explained that the transformations taking place in the region, especially in Syria and its reconstruction, allow Jordan to restore its historical role as a vital bridge for trade and transport between the Gulf, the Levant, Turkey, and Europe, and a link to enhance Arab economic and political integration.

Speaking about the balance of power, Al-Musafer pointed out that the Arab world possesses great assets at the demographic, economic, and military levels, along with huge sovereign funds, but the gap, according to his opinion, lies in organization, political will, and the employment of resources within a comprehensive strategic vision.

He stressed that building Arab strength requires the establishment of joint projects linking the economy with education, scientific research, technology, and defense, and facilitating the movement of capital and labor, thereby enhancing the concept of comprehensive Arab national security.
