Foreign relations of the Arab League

Following this summit, he had several meetings with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa.

The Anglo-American Petroleum Agreement was based on negotiations between the United States and Great Britain over the control of Arab people and Middle Eastern oil wealth of Aramco.

It is worth mentioning that: Algeria, Mauritania, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia and Comoros are common members and involve of these two international organizations.

[14] The recent economic boom in the People's Republic of China has led to an increased demand for oil and other raw petroleum products, much of which has been supplied by member states of the Arab League.

Foreign ties have also been made with the Arab League States of Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq and Syria in order to further invest in petroleum production in the Middle East and North Africa.

As of 2008, the Arab League and the People’s Republic of China have agreed to create an annual forum between the two parties in order to discuss matters of economics, trade and environmental studies.

Russia with its strong diplomatic relations with Arab States from the Soviet Era, is trying to regain its strength by supporting their causes, especially in the Security Council.

The AL Secretary General Amr Moussa has stated that it was time for the Arab League and Latin America to seek strong relations.

Latin America has developed high-tech skills and industries that will find ready markets in the Arab world as will its agricultural production.

They also have other common interests, not just a desire to see the elimination of the subsidies that allow European and American farmers to destroy the livelihoods of their counterparts elsewhere in the world.

Developing business relations between the Arab world and South America will provide an invaluable balance to both regions' overdependence on Europe, the U.S. and Japan for imports and expertise.

[17] Venezuela has a large Arab population from Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, has supported the Palestinian Cause, and is one of two Latin American countries to cut off ties with Israel (the other being Bolivia).

One of the reasons for refusals came from Iraq and Syria due to the Turkish Water Projects on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, especially the Atatürk Dam.

However, a primary concern for Turkey stems from the possibility of an independent Kurdish state arising from a destabilized Iraq.
