Amman, June 11 (Petra) — Senate President Faisal Fayez called on the
Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union and Arab parliamentary institutions to
develop a unified parliamentary vision that addresses the challenges
facing the Arab world and supports efforts to achieve sustainable
security, stability and development across the region.

Speaking during a virtual meeting of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary
Union, Fayez stressed the need for closer coordination between Arab
legislative and executive authorities to confront regional challenges
and safeguard Arab interests.

The meeting, held via Zoom under the theme “An Arab Parliamentary
Vision for a More Stable and Sustainable Future,” was chaired by the
Speaker of the Saudi Shura Council and attended by speakers of Arab
parliaments and Shura councils.

Fayez underscored the importance of strengthening joint Arab action
and building an integrated Arab framework politically, economically
and militarily, while enhancing collective Arab security and defense
mechanisms to protect the region from external interference and
preserve its security and stability.

He said the Arab world is facing highly sensitive and complex
circumstances, pointing to the Iranian attacks targeting the security
and stability of Jordan and Gulf Cooperation Council countries,
alongside the continued Israeli aggression against the Palestinian
people and ongoing attacks on Syria and Lebanon.

Fayez said these developments require Arab parliamentary institutions
to intensify parliamentary diplomacy through engagement with regional
and international parliaments to highlight the consequences of
regional conflicts on global stability, energy supplies, food
security and international trade.

He said Arab countries possess significant human and economic
resources that could enable them to become a major regional and
global force capable of protecting their interests and strengthening
independent political and economic decision-making.

Fayez affirmed that Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King
Abdullah II, will continue supporting Arab causes and coordinating
with Arab countries to address common challenges. He also highlighted
the commitment of the Senate and the Lower House of Parliament to
strengthening cooperation with Arab parliamentary institutions in
support of shared interests and the aspirations of Arab peoples for
greater unity and integration.

He commended the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union’s role in advancing
Arab parliamentary cooperation, strengthening ties with regional and
international parliamentary organizations, and supporting Arab causes
through parliamentary engagement.
