  3. “Fourthly, the Arab region needs enhanced economic opportunities and the launching of projects that can achieve development and prosperity for its peoples and build resilience in the face of various security and political challenges. We stress the need for the collaboration between the two organizations to invest in the future of youth by focusing on areas such as artificial intelligence, outer space and renewable energy, which can unlock promising opportunities for the region away from conflict and war. In conclusion, we stress the need for the two organizations to enhance their cooperation in resolving Arab issues based on clear criteria and on equal basis, as well as by using all available diplomatic tools and constructive engagement to end the crises in the region.”

  4. “Secondly, it is necessary to focus on empowering youth to play a leading role in addressing existing challenges in the region and participating in peacebuilding efforts, especially since approximately 60 per cent of the region’s population is under 25 years of age. Listening to Ms. Alaqil today is an example of offering a platform for young people to express their opinions and concerns on the most important issues and how to take their views into consideration when developing solutions for such issues. Thirdly, given the threats posed by extremism and terrorism to the region, we stress the need for the two organizations to strengthen joint efforts to combat extremism and terrorism and to work on supporting initiatives that encourage peaceful coexistence and dialogue among religions and cultures in the region.”

  5. “As we seek to address the issues of the region, we recommend that special attention be given to the following issues. First, more initiatives and programmes to strengthen the role of Arab women in peace and security issues are needed. We are pleased by the appointment of Ms. Sima Bahous as the first Executive Director of UN-Women from our region. At the national level, the United Arab Emirates has launched the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak’s Center for Women, Peace and Security and a women’s empowerment programme in the fields of security and peacekeeping, in which a group of Arab women participate.”

  6. “We also emphasize that any Security Council approach to resolve regional issues needs to reflect the concerns of Arab States and consider their views on resolving them. These States can present a new perspective to the Council on ways to break the current stalemate in certain political processes. In that regard, we stress the importance of working according to the principle of seeking Arab solutions to Arab issues. That requires, first and foremost, demanding an end to foreign interference in Arab affairs. We also stress the importance of States’ compliance with their obligations under international law and the Charter of the United Nations, particularly the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and good-neighbourliness.”

  7. “Doing so will require establishing mechanisms for the exchange of information and viewpoints on how to address various regional challenges from a realistic and practical perspective. To that end, the United Nations Liaison Office to the League of Arab States must be strengthened and empowered with the necessary resources and means to achieve its objectives. That includes facilitating cooperation between United Nations bodies and the LAS and its various subsidiary organs, with a focus on capacity-building and sharing experiences. In that context, we support further cooperation and complementarity in mediation activities between the envoys of the United Nations and the LAS. We also support strengthening trilateral cooperation among the LAS, the United Nations and the African Union.”

  8. “This makes our meeting important today, which we hope can help to enhance cooperation between the Security Council and the League of Arab States to address the outstanding Arab issues. The League of Arab States is a standing organization that yesterday marked 77 years since its founding in 1945. The LAS also possesses deep knowledge of regional challenges and the concerns of its member States. That enables it to play a leading role in supporting the implementation of the Security Council’s core mandate to maintain international peace and security. It is therefore important to increase coordination and consultation between the Council and the LAS and to institutionalize that relationship.”

  9. “Today’s meeting is particularly important because many of the issues on the Security Council’s agenda are Arab issues, although some of them have been on its agenda for decades because the international community was merely managing these crises rather than resolving them. The ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict and other crises in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Lebanon, the Sudan and Somalia have imposed a high political, economic and humanitarian cost on the region, which further increases the risk of drastically escalating the situation across the region and the world. Furthermore, the current challenges and crises, with their complex and inherently cross-border aspects, require all stakeholders to make collective efforts at both regional and international levels.”

  10. “I thank Ms. Alaqil for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister of State of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the United Arab Emirates. I thank both Mr. António Guterres, Secretary- General of the United Nations, and Mr. Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States (LAS), for their valuable briefings on the status of cooperation between their respective organizations. We also thank the civil society representative, Ms. Razan Alaqil, for shedding light on the issues and aspirations of Arab youth.”

  11. “In accordance with rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the representative of Yemen to participate in this meeting. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure, I invite the following briefers to participate in this meeting: His Excellency Mr. Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States; and Ms. Razan Farhan Alaqil, civil-society briefer.
