Abdelatty also welcomed Cairo’s hosting of the eighth conference of the Arab Parliament and the speakers of Arab councils and parliaments on 27 June.

He also underlined the need to develop mechanisms for joint Arab action, protect collective Arab interests and support the role of Arab youth in parliamentary work.
