Participants at the Economic and Social Forum also reiterated the need for speeding up linking of the Arab countries with power and gas projects to serve the objectives of comprehensive development.

The deliberations at the fourth session last night underscored adoption of practical steps to boost co-operation and Arab integration in this respect.

Former Opec Secretary General Adnan Shihabuddin said the world financial crisis has cast shadow on the world investments and led oil prices to drop, adding that the Opec initiative to intervene to create balance between demand and supply was important.

He called for speeding up execution of the power projects among the Arab countries."
