Damascus, 29.03.08, JANA - The African Union President Alpha Oumar Konare underlined the importance of the call of the Leader of the Revolution for establishing the Arab-African space, clarifying that relation between Arabs and Africans is a relation based on partnership, as the case with the rest of the world, rather a fraternal relation and common destiny.

Konare said, in a speech at the opening session of the Arab summit in Damascus, that if the Africans and all the Arabs do not unite in a single space, they would not have the initiative in this era. He clarified that wealth and material and human resources that Arabs and Africans have, qualify them to be a progressive force in the world. He also mentioned that, if the Arab-African space were to be formed, it would be the largest promising market in the world with its economic strength, through the natural and material resources of the Arabs and Africans.
