Jweili calls for Arab food-sufficiency

The secretary general of the Arab Economic unity council Ahmad Jweili has stressed that self- reliance and achieving self- sufficiency for the Arab states is the best means to attain set objectives.

He described Iraq's decision to replace cashing sales of its oil revenues of EUROS ( the European Union currency) instead of the US $ is a " sovereign decision" and that any country has the right to take decisions it regards as appropriate.
