Arab generation forum to contribute to crystalizing unified vision

Generations Communication Forum in support of the joint Arab action will contribute to crystalizing a unified vision, Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ramtane Lamamra said Sunday. Lamamra made the statement during inaugurating the forum in Oran city, west of Algeria, in which Kuwait is taking part.

He said that the gathering aims to activate the role of Arab civil society in addressing the issues that concern the Arab world and meeting aspirations of the Arab nations.

The forum forms an opportunity to revive the historical memory of the Arab nations in terms of culture and civilization, which are the bases of the national identity of the Arab nation, he stressed.

He stated that this forum is being held a few weeks before the next Arab summit to be hosted by Algeria.

This coincides with the 68th anniversary of the November revolution in Algeria that was a title of the unity of the Arab ranks and the solidarity of Arab peoples and countries with the struggle of the Algerian people's liberation.

The five-day event is featuring a number of officials and activities of the civil society as well as some high-level academics from 19 Arab countries.

Of the attendees is Kawthar al-Jawan, head of Women's Institute for Development and Peace./KUNA
