In his remarks delivered via videoconferencing on Thursday before the Arab League's emergency meeting at the permanent delegates' level on the developments of the military operation in Ukraine, Ukraine's Special Envoy for the Middle East and Africa, Ambassador Maxim Sobh, confirmed that his country strives to cooperate with Arab League and prioritizes this vital cooperation. He added that Arab League is one of the international organizations that play an instrumental role in the middle east and north Africa.
The State of Qatar participated in this meeting and was represented by HE Deputy Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the Arab League Fahad Rashid Al Muraikhi.
Ambassador Maxim Sobh indicated that his country is extremely counting on wide support from the entire Arab world for all issues incorporated into the UN agenda pertaining to the condemnation of the Russian military operations in Ukraine and ways to halt them, and hoped the cooperation would persist between his country and the Arab countries in cordial and understanding atmospheres concerning a broad range of crucial regional and international issues, pointing out that his country aspires to promote the bilateral relations with Arab League in various fields within the framework of operationalizing the signed MoU between the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General-Secretariat of Arab League in 2009.
He elucidated that every time the military operations persist, the global markets, including the Arab nations' markets, remain in a position of desperate need for supplies from Ukraine, such as wheat cultivars, cooking oils, and other foodstuffs. He indicated that the crisis has resulted in major pressures and challenges facing the foodstuffs, not only in the Arab and African countries but also in the entire world, especially the poorest nations.
