OAPEC calls for an Arab free trade zone

The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPAPEC) has called for establishment of an Arab free trade zone in preparation for setting up a common Arab market, SANA reported from Kuwait.

In its monthly bulletin's editorial the organization expressed optimism toward the future, as Arab awareness is looming to set up such a market.

The editorial highlighted OAPEC's achievements through the 30 years since its foundation in integrating Arab resources and protecting Arab economic interests through setting up joint Arab projects working in accordance with market economics, SANA said.
