CAIRO, Sept 29 (MENA) - Abdulla Al Rahby, the Ambassador of Oman in Cairo and Omani permanent representative to the Arab League, has called for boosting Arab-African cooperation to face the challenges facing the two sides.

In statements to MENA on the sidelines of the"'peace and development conference" held on Sunday at the headquarters of the Arab League in Cairo, the Omani diplomat said that organizing the event coincides with serious developments in the region, a matter that requires cooperation.

He said the use of force instead of dialogue runs counter to international principles pointing out that the destruction in Gaza and Lebanon raises alarm.

He added the crisis in Sudan and the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam directly affect the region as the dam threatens the water security in the region. (MENA)
