Regional, Business, 7/18/1998

The Arab Businessmen's Council presented a formal demand to the Arab League to issue a card for businessmen to facilitate obtaining visas necessary for travel in the Arab states.

In a press conference held recently in Cairo at the conclusion of the council works Hamady El-Tabbah, the head of the Arab Businessmen's Council and the businessmen's assembly in Jordan, said that this step will mainly contribute to facilitating the movements of Arab businessmen between countries and activate joint trade and investment.

Saiid El-Tawil, the deputy head of the Arab Businessmen's Council and an Egyptian businessman, said that a delegation from the council will pay a visit to Kuwait in November for discussions with Abdul-Latif Ahamd, the head of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, on establishing a basis for Arab businessmen to receive loans valued at $500 million, which the fund has specified to finance projects within the Arab private sector without governmental interference.
