Arab water ministers examine arab water strategy:
The Council of Arab Water Minister examined during the 2nd session of its meeting held in Cairo (Egypt) last 1-2 July 2010, the challenges faced by the Arab world in the water resources with the participation of Arab Water Ministers (or their representatives) and the Arab league.
The session was devoted to several issues relating to the joint Arab action for the implementation of the decisions made by the Arab Economic Summit on the water strategy. The strategy comprises a series of objectives that aim at defending the rights of Arab countries relating to water resources, particularly in the occupied Arab territories. In addition to the preparation of the World Water Forum, which will be held in March 2012 in Marseille (France), the ministers also examined the implementation of the project of the comprehensive water resource management and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
