Egypt for Arab common market

Osama el-Baz, Egyptian President's political advisor, underlined the importance of establishing an Arab common market as an economic body that can cope with world economic blocs.

In his meeting with students and teaching staff of Helwan university on Saturday el-Baz denounced the Israeli aggressive practices against Palestinians, stressing that despite the crises, the Palestinian people could preserve their own identity and dignity. He called upon Israel to give up its nuclear power, noting the international community has become more convinced of the need for Israel's commitment to this end.
