H. E. the President of AAAID Participate in the 8th Conference of the Arab Thought Foundation


 AAAID participated in the 8th conference of the Arab Thought Foundation, 8-9 December, 2009, Kuwait, with a high level delegation headed by H. E. Mr. Ali Bin Saeed Alsharhan, president of AAAID. The conference was attended by H.H. Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber, Emir of Kuwait, and H.H. Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, President of the Arab Thought Foundation.

The speech delivered by H.E. the President of AAAID addressed the fundamental changes taking place in the world lately and their repercussions and impact on Arab agriculture and food security in the future, particularly with respect to the continuous and unprecedented rise in the prices of major food commodities and the declining inventory levels of some of them. He also talked about the emergence of AAAID and its endeavor to enhance the efforts of Arab countries towards achieving food security by increasing investment in agricultural projects, both in plant and animal sectors, and the implementation of agricultural development programs within its investment projects.

H. E. the president of AAAID also outlined the main features of the future AAAID strategy and its vision, which is based on four main dimensions, in the foremost of which is development of human resources, both in terms of production processes and consumption, followed by the role of the Arab agricultural media and promotion of its capabilities. The third of these dimensions is to mobilize the capabilities and resources available in Arab States including the political will, the conformity of objectives and priorities at this critical stage at the country and national levels, and strategic partners including the private sector and Arab as well as international financial institutions. The interest in the subject of Arab agricultural integration comes as the fourth dimension of AAAID strategy for the future as it is the only way to achieve sustainable Arab food security, in addition to the benefits of such integration for coordinating between plans and policies for agricultural development in the Arab States, as well as supporting production specialization, redistribution, and allocation of the productive resources in a way that serves Arab agricultural development.
