I would like to welcome the visitors of the website of the League of Arab States. Since its establishment in 1945, the League of Arab States has been the long-standing organisation that is home to all Arab countries and peoples. The League’s mission is to make every sincere effort for the progress and prosperity of our Arab nation: the nation which has significantly contributed to humanity, in light of its historical, civilisational and cultural specificity, diversity and richness, entitling it to be among the leading nations, providing its societies with the highest levels of stability, prosperity and development so that all its citizens can enjoy their full rights and fulfil their duties towards the Arab society. I have the pleasure to call upon all those interested in learning more about the path and activities of our Joint Arab Action to contribute to the League of Arab States’ enablement for a better future for Arab nations and peoples.
