Regional-Egypt, Business, 4/12/1999

It was decided to establish an Arab council for businesswoman during October that comprises businesswomen's organizations in the Arab states in addition to Canada and Australia.

This council aims at developing economic relations, cooperation and coordination to increase the volume of bilateral trade among the Arab states and benefit from the advantages provided by bilateral and collective agreements among the Arab states.

The council will be established under the auspices of the Arab League.

Yomna El-Shereda, head of Egypt's 21st businesswomen's association, and members of the establishing committee of the Arab council said the council aims at overcoming the political borders among the Arab states and avoiding the negatives that affected the track of Arab unity.

El-Shereda said the aim of the council is to provide a protection umbrella for Arab businesswomen whether inside or outside the Arab states and that training sessions and bilateral meetings will be offered to members of this council, whether inside or outside the Arab region as well as unified participation in international and Arab economic events.
