Amman, Sept. 17 (Petra) — Abdul Fattah Shalabi, Director General of
the Jordan Cooperative Corporation (JCC), was elected vice president
of the International Cooperative Fisheries Organization (IFCO) for
2026-2030, during the International Cooperative Alliance’s (ICA)
general assembly and world congress in Panama City.
The election follows Shalabi’s appointment in November to the ICA’s
Asia-Pacific board for 2025-2029, making him the first Arab to hold
that position since the alliance’s founding in 1960.
Shalabi said Thursday the position strengthens the standing of
Jordan’s cooperative movement internationally, crediting the
achievement to sustained efforts under His Majesty King Abdullah II’s
leadership.
He called the election a source of pride for Jordan’s cooperative
movement, which, he said, has built a global presence over the past
five years. He pledged continued work to serve Jordanian and global
cooperatives.
The IFCO is a sectoral organization under the ICA, established in the
1970s to develop fisheries cooperatives worldwide and support
fishermen’s economic and social interests.
