Arab Union for Specialized Women convenes in Tripoli, commends women’s role in all sectors

The 22-state Arab Union for Specialized Women convened for the first time yesterday in Tripoli, Lebanon, with the participation of its branches in the different Arab countries and under the patronage of German Countess Wald Burg. The conference which emanates from the Arab Economic Unity Council working within the framework of the Arab League took place between October 6 and 10. Burg gave a presentation on ‘the role of women in business from the German perspective’, followed by a talk delivered by the president of the Union’s branch in Lebanon, Nariman Jamal Ghanem, who lauded the role of Arb women in the post-modern political and scientific renaissance. Jamal said the northern capital is honored to host the conference which came to complement the historic glamour of the city. (Al Mustaqbal, October 19, 2016)
