My deepest condolences to those who lost loved ones, especially to our beloved Arab families whom we respect, love, and share happiness and sorrow together for thousands of years. This should only open the door wider to building our mutual economic cooperation and the fight to independence from poverty and self-sustenance in a countable, honest and benevolent manner. |
